HC Deb 23 February 1989 vol 147 c767W
19. Mr. Bill Walker

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the revenue obtained from excise duty and value-added tax from the sales of Scotch whisky in the latest year for which figures are available.

Mr. Brooke

Figures are not directly available for Scotch whisky. The revenue yield for excise duty and value added tax on Scotch whisky was about 95 per cent. of that from those taxes on all whiskies.
