HC Deb 09 July 1985 vol 82 c386W
Mr. Bowen Wells

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will estimate the revenue which would be raised by raising the duty on spirits by 25p in 1985–86.

Mr. Hayhoe

It is estimated that the full-year net revenue yield from raising the duty on spirits by 25p per bottle in 1985–86 would be about £30 million (including consequential VAT).
