HC Deb 03 July 1972 vol 840 c10W
56. Mr. Clark Hutchison

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry in view of the fact that in France laws controlling advertising militate against the sale of Scotch whisky by differentiating between spirits distilled from grain and grape, if he will make representations to the appropriate authorities about this practice in the interests of British exports.

Mr. Noble

We have long been aware of this problem, and representations have been made to the French authorities.
