Proceeding contribution from Tobias Ellwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 February 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on British Pubs.


British Pubs

My hon. Friend makes a powerful argument. Does he agree that the change in VAT was unhelpful, given the length of time for which it lasted, and the time at which it returned to 17.5 per cent? The rate went back up at midnight on 31 December—a busy time of the year for publicans across the country.
