§ 94. Mr. Scollanasked the Minister of Food if he will consider setting up a central selling agency for wines and spirits to publicans and hosteliers with uniform prices, in view of the fact that whisky is being bought at £18 per case and offered the publicans at £41 5s. per case.
§ Mr. StracheyThe Scotch Whisky Association, whose members account for the major part of all supplies, set a retail price of 31s. per bottle, and fix distribution margins accordingly. I doubt whether we could do more than give every support we can to the Association in this matter.
