Proceeding contribution from Alan Reid (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Scotland Bill.
Scotland Bill
I agree with one of the hon. Gentleman's points: alcoholic drinks should be taxed on alcohol content. There is a practical problem with his amendment, however. It is my understanding that he wants to increase taxes on alcohol in Scotland, but if alcohol is then priced cheaper just across the border in Berwick or Carlisle, surely a lot of revenue will be lost by people nipping across the border to buy their drink?
