§ 36. Mr. GregoryTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what is his estimate of the volume and value of Scotch whisky production for the calendar year 1991; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Allan StewartFigures provided to the Scotch Whisky Association by its members indicate that for the first six months of 1991 malt whisky output amounted to some 106.4 million litres of alcohol. Grain whisky output for the same period was 110–7 million litres of alcohol. No estimates can be made of the value of that production at this stage.
