HC Deb 27 October 1975 vol 898 c317W
Mrs. Winifred Ewing

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on his policy towards the tax treatment of Scotch whisky in the EEC.

Mr. Strang

At present individual member States of the EEC set their own levels of taxation, but under the terms of the Treaty of Rome all products, including Scotch whisky, should receive parity of treatment with similar products.
