Proceeding contribution from Martin Horwood (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 23 April 2009. It occurred during Budget debate on Amendment of the law.
Amendment of the law
I am speaking more from a constituency point of view than as a Front Bencher, but I strongly agree with what the hon. Gentleman says about traditional pubs. Does he agree that having a differential duty that is more generous to beer and encourages drinking in traditional family pubs would actually create a social environment that militates against binge drinking, which is an important factor in the wider issue?
