are not available. Figures of exports under the statistical code number E.948 in the Export List (1962), which relates to "Home-made spirits—other than certificated Scotch or Irish whisky and other than Gin and British compounds", are, however, available. It is thought that these figures relate mainly to exports of immature whisky. I am sending my hon. Friend these details; I am also making a copy available in the House of Commons Library.
