Proceeding contribution from Lord Monson (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 13 October 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Policing and Crime Bill.


Policing and Crime Bill

Before the noble Lord sits down, is he aware that the reason that the pernicious gut-rot white cider, which he so rightly deplores, is so cheap is that the Government, for reasons best known to themselves, have chosen to impose excise duty on strong cider at only one third of the rate they impose on strong beer.
