Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Browne (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

That is a very valid point, which also illustrates people's wider concerns about losing pubs. Although people go to pubs to drink beer, in many cases they also enjoy eating in that environment. It has been notable how many pubs have modified their offering to their customers in order to provide food. Pubs also provide entertainment, for example, quizzes and music; karaoke may be popular with some customers, although less so with others. A range of attractions in pubs help to make them part of their community and popular with their customers.
