HC Deb 01 June 1965 vol 713 c184W
42. Mr. George Y. Mackie

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much revenue he expects to raise by excise duty on Scotch whisky in 1965; and how much he expects to earn abroad through sales of Scotch whisky exports.

Mr. Diamond

It is estimated that the duty receipts from Scotch whisky will be about £125 million in 1965. The value of exports in 1964 was about £92 million, and 1965 is expected to show some increase over this figure.
