HC Deb 24 November 1948 vol 458 c113W
65. Mr. Scott-Elliot

asked the Minister of Food whether, with a view to increasing our exports to dollar countries, he is taking steps to provide increased quantities of grain for making whisky.

Mr. Strachey

Yes. The distilleries are being supplied this year with about the same amount of grain as they used before the war. But current exports are limited by stocks of mature whisky and no large increase can be expected until these stocks, depleted during the war, have been rebuilt.
