HC Deb 10 March 1977 vol 927 c615W
Sir Frederic Bennett

asked the Lord President of the Council whether he will list the criteria on which wines and spirits are selected for sale in the House of Commons to Members of Parliament; and whether political considerations are taken into account.

Dr. Reginald Bennett

I have been asked to reply.

Wines and spirits are selected on merit and price alone. Political considerations play no part in the selection.
