36. Mr. Sims

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what representations he has received from the Scotch whisky industry on the impact of the withdrawal of stock relief; what response he has made; and if he will make a statement.

We have received a number of representations and in both his Budgets my right hon. Friend has reduced the real level of the duty on whisky.
