Excise Duty (Whisky and Gin)

HC Deb 10 February 1967 vol 740 c376W

Mr. Fisher

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the diminishing revenue returns from the present level of duty on whisky and gin, he will now consider reducing the tax on spirits.

Mr. Callaghan

This is a Budgetary matter on which I cannot comment now, except to say that the revenue receipts have not diminished.
