The hon. Member is wrong. The Amendment would cost an additional £130,000 this year and £200,000 in a full year. With the remission which I have given to the sweetened waters, that would make a total in a full year of £500,000, which is much more than I can afford now. The only hope I can hold out to the lion. Member is that in more prosperous times he may be able to press his claim.
