Proceeding contribution from Greg Mulholland (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 10 March 2010. It occurred during Estimates day on Alcohol.


Alcohol

We do, indeed, but I am not quite sure what point the right hon. Gentleman is trying to make. My point simply is that we should not say, "50 per cent. or 40 per cent. sounds right." We need to look at the holistic impact of the measure. The principle is absolutely right, but we have not reached the stage where we know what the price should be, and it is important that we do not simply pick a figure out of the air.
