HC Deb 08 March 1971 vol 813 c44W
Mr. Marten

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what quantity of wine from the Commonwealth and South Africa was imported last year; what percentage this represents of total wine imports; what was the average tariff; and what will be the tariff if the United Kingdom joins the Common Market.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

6 million gallons of wine were imported from the Commonwealth and South Africa in 1970; this represented 15.6 per cent. of our total wine imports. The other parts of the Question raise complex issues of the protective element in revenue duties and I will write to my hon. Friend about these in the near future.
