HC Deb 23 November 1967 vol 754 c419W
Mr. James Davidson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what are the latest available figures for the total annual value of Scotch whisky consumed in Scotland and in the United Kingdom as a whole.

Mr. Harold Lever

The estimate of consumers' expediture on alcoholic drink in 1966 published in the National Income Blue Book includes £225 million for expenditure on home produced whisky. This figure relates to the United Kingdom as a whole. A separate estimate for Scotland is not available.
