Would the Parliamentary Secretary endeavour to segregate the whiskey into potstill and blend whiskey, if at all possible, for the last two years?
Notice would be required of that question.
Is it not in the last two or three years that the market has expanded for blended whiskey? It would be desirable to know the actual quantity of that whiskey that has been sold.
