SPARKLING WINES.
WHY THE DUTY WAS REDUCED.
LONDON, July 6.
In the House of Commons, in connection with the proposed reduction of the ad ecloren duty on sparkling wines from 50 per cent. to 33.1/3 per cent.. Mr. Austen Chamberlain said, that the reduction of the duty was proposed because the 50 per cent. duty was calculated on the basis of the average value of imported wine being 57/6d. a gallon, whereas the average value on which duty would be charged would probably be under 40/-, also because of sympathy with France. The concession would entail a loss of £400,000 to the revenue in a full year. It was estimated that the 33.1/3 per cent, duty would produce £800,000. The amendment reducing the duty was carried by 261 votes to 90.-
