    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think it is important to realise that anything in terms of description of tariff codes is not a matter for the courts. It is the Customs Union that determines what products go under what category. The issue that Dr. Oburu is talking about was a case in terms of, at what point does Keroche Industries start paying taxes. What is surprising me is that, we have all this time been consumed about just discussing not whether we should levy tax on wine, but about a specific industry. This House is about the public interest which is best served when we first of all appreciate that the codes that we are talking about, are international. Code 2204 is described as wine made from grapes including fortified wine. Code 2206 is wine made from other fruits including fortified wine. I have made my case and I have explained to the hon. Members and it is up to the House to either remove these taxes and lose the revenue. We need this money to pay for the education of children. So, the people who will benefit are the wine drinkers and not the people you are targeting."
