HC Deb 04 May 1984 vol 59 c257W
Mr. Bowen Wells

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when he will announce his conclusion about the minimum strength for Scotch whisky.

Mr. Jopling

It is taking considerably longer than I anticipated to resolve the issues raised by the many representations that I have received on the minimum strength proposals in the draft regulations. I shall make a further announcement as soon as possible.
