HC Deb 11 May 1933 vol 277 c1717W
Mr. McENTEE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether any action has been taken to protect the revenue against loss owing to the practice of mingling wines or the British wine known as "Red Lizzie" with new spirit?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

As regards the first practice to which the hon. Member refers, I may remind him that Section 11 of the Finance Act of last year was passed in order to deal with this matter. As regards the second Practice, such admixture can only take place if the full duty on the spirits is paid.
