Beer Duty And The 2014 Budget
EDM number 892 in 2013-14, proposed by Andrew Griffiths on 18/12/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Leisure, Service industries and Taxation.
That this House welcomes the ending of the beer duty escalator and the impact of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's historic beer duty cut in the 2013 Budget, the first such cut since 1959, in supporting the growth of Britain's breweries and underpinning confidence in the UK's pubs; and urges the Government to sustain this momentum by considering the case for a further freeze in beer duty in the 2014 Budget which would secure over 2,000 jobs in pubs up and down the land and help reduce the cost of living for hard-working men and women.
This motion has been signed by a total of 120 MPs.
