HC Deb 20 January 1987 vol 108 cc494-5W
Mr. Canavan

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what subjects he discussed at his last meeting with representatives of the Scotch whisky industry.

Mr. Donald Thompson

I met representatives of the industry at the beginning of December. Among the subjects discussed were the alcoholic strength at which whisky is being marketed in the EC and the difficult competitive position for Scotch whisky in the Japanese market.
