HC Deb 22 July 1977 vol 935 cc771-2W
Mr. Brotherton

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what licences are currently issued by his Department governing the activities of commercial and other productive enterprises.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

The Treasury issues a licence, given at the request of the Royal Mint, for the sale or refining of "scrap" coinage.

Following is a list of licences issued by Customs and Excise:

  • Gaming licences
  • Gaming machine licences
  • Spirits, beer and wine wholesale licences
  • Brewers' licences
  • Distillers' licences
  • Rectifiers' and compounders' licences
  • Spirit methylators' licences
  • Manufacturing or wholesale chemists' and druggists' licences

ing ACAs, the new green rate itself and from the increases in common support prices. Increased common support prices also have the effect of raising the threshold and other equivalent prices used in the calculation of the full Community Levy. The exact effect of all these changes on the net levy over the next 12 months cannot be predicted, as it will depend on the development of offer prices as assessed for levy purposes and, for some commodities, on decisions at the 1978–79 price fixing.

  • Tobacco manufacturers' licences
  • Tobacco substitute manufacturers' licences
  • Match manufacturers' licences
  • Mechanical lighter manufacturers' licences
  • Producers' of wine for sale licences
  • Producers' of made-wine for sale licences
  • Methylated spirit retailers' licences
  • Still keepers' or users' licences
  • Tobacco growers' or curers' licences
