HC Deb 15 January 1985 vol 71 c92W
Mr. Foulkes

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in what form he intends to propose to require labelling of whisky of various alcoholic strengths; whether such requirements will include the term understrength or the percentage of alcohol; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Fenner

I refer the hon. Member to the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Mid-Staffordshire (Mr. Heddle) on 22 November 1984 at columns267–68. We are still considering the ways in which the labelling of understrength spirits shall be improved and we will be announcing our proposals in a few weeks' time.
