§ 66. Mr. Tilneyasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the estimated saving to the United Kingdom's balance of payments by the production of British wine rather than the import of a similar amount of wine from overseas.

But the comparison is not a good one. There are well-known reasons of taste why these products are only interchangeable to a limited extent.
