Alcoholic Drinks: Prices
- Question
-
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps the Government is taking to table the increased affordability of alcohol.
- Answer
-
The price of alcoholic drinks is a matter for businesses and consumers. However policies such as alcohol duty can have an impact, for example to address the issue of overconsumption of cheaper so-called “white cider” the government is legislating in the current Finance Bill for a new, higher, rate of duty.
HM Treasury keeps all taxes, including alcohol duty, under review.
