Wine (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2024

Debate between Lord Harlech and Lord Moynihan

Tuesday 16th January 2024 Grand Committee

[Lord Moynihan (Con)]

Before my noble friend sits down, I would like to press him on why, under new paragraph 8(d) in Regulation 2, it is deemed necessary by the Government to write

“a term similar to a term mentioned in point (a), (b) or (c)”

when those three sub-paragraphs are

“(a)‘ice wine’; (b)‘icewine’; (c)‘ice-wine’”.

It would be helpful to the Committee to give an example of a term that is similar to ice wine that would be covered by this statutory instrument.

[Lord Harlech (Con)]

For the benefit of the Committee, it may be useful for me to go away and consider my noble friend’s question, so as not to detain the Committee any longer. I will of course go back and look at Hansard and if there is anything that I have not answered then I will write, circulate that to all noble Lords and place a copy in the Library. I hope that I have addressed the majority of issues raised and that noble Lords will approve this instrument.
