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
Once again, the hon. Gentleman proves my point precisely. He is quite right about the effect on the pub, but unfortunately a 50p minimum price for alcohol would make it impossible for many of our smaller breweries to survive, and that would therefore damage the brewing trade. We have to look at all those issues together. That is the sensible way to do it, rather than plucking a figure out of the air.
