HC Deb 19 May 1976 vol 911 c582W
Mr. Alexander Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Trade, pursuant to the reply which the Under-Secretary of State gave to the hon. Member for Hamilton (Official Report, c. 911 of 15th March 1976), on what date the brand name of Scotch whisky was registered.

Mr. Meacher

Scotch whisky is not a brand name but a description of origin which may be applied only to whisky wholly distilled in Scotland.
