    "content": " Flow metres should be a requirement to regulate the amount of the alcoholic products we unleash to the market. It will enable distillers account for whatever they produce and unleash. It is playing a social good. I understand the Chairman to be saying that we want to create a pathway around which even distillers who have not installed the so-called flow metre can operate. That is what I understand him to be saying. First, I will oppose this provision if that is the direction. Secondly, we impose Excise Tax for the societal good that we need to regulate what is going and account for them around alcohol. The other reason is that we will be creating disparities. Some people have incurred costs in installing these flow metres yet you are allowing others to enter the market without installing them. Ultimately, if you permit, my last point is that you target to raise an amount of money with a Finance Bill. We should not accept amendments unless we explain the amount of money we are costing the Government in terms of revenue loss."
