Proceeding contribution from Tobias Ellwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

My hon. Friend is making a powerful argument about the level of duty. The duty hits the breweries, which were told that it would be only temporary and that it would act as an offset to the VAT cut—which was also supposed to be temporary. However, the Government have not said that because VAT is about to head back up, alcohol duty will head down again.
