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 would be an extremely popular measure, but it is not my intention. [Interruption.] The hon. Member for Hammersmith and Fulham (Mr. Hands) says that is what the amendment says. I suppose it depends how one interprets the word "further". The effect that I sought to achieve was to say that the Government should feel free to put up duty in line with inflation. Most people would accept that that is a reasonable way to proceed, but the escalator that is over and above inflation is damaging pubs and breweries, for the reasons that I have given.
