To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent assessment he has made of the potential merits of introducing a minimum price per unit of alcohol for beers and ciders.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent assessment he has made of the potential merits of introducing a minimum price per unit of alcohol for beers and ciders.
In December 2016, Public Health England published an evidence review of the public health burden of alcohol and the cost-effectiveness of alcohol control policies. The review presents international evidence on the effectiveness of price-based interventions such as minimum unit pricing in reducing levels of consumption and the harms associated with alcohol.
The introduction of minimum unit pricing in England remains under review pending the impact of its implementation in Scotland.
Is the hon. Gentleman going to declare his earnings at the higher rate now?

I confess that I do not know the answer. I am merely reciting the IFS figures. Today it said that 500,000 households would lose, and 1.3 million individuals. I assume that most of those individuals will be in those households. If our constituents were asked whether they believed the Treasury...

There is clearly something wrong with our procedures when Members who wish to reform a Budget constructively have to resort to tabling a new clause that, according to my right hon. Friend, will blow the House and everything else asunder if we press it to a vote. It is very...

I am grateful for that intervention, because it allows me to point out that the Minister keeps saying that the Government are open to suggestions, but we have been making suggestions ever since they got us into this mess by abolishing the 10p rate. The most obvious way to bring...

As I have been explaining, I cannot do that. The House of Commons has this absurd procedure whereby either we let things through or we table proposals such as this just to hold the Government back for a moment, so that they have to think again. We are then accused...

Did the hon. Gentleman notice that as Birkenhead was mentioned, the gods showed their displeasure at the fact that we had to have this debate?

I have been bending over backwards not to suggest this is a very easy thing that fits into nice little boxes. There are clearly what my grandmother would have called swings and roundabouts, and I accept my hon. Friend's point, but I nevertheless believe that the main thrust of the...

I am sure that those sentiments are reflected on both sides of the House. The disappointment that I feel can be summed up as follows. I am not trying to decry the moves that the Government have made to try to rectify the unnecessary burden that we have placed on...

Well, I am sure, because it comes from the IFS. When I was broadcasting with representatives of the IFS today, they said that that was their estimate.

I do not dispute that point, and the hon. Gentleman may be able to make his case later in the debate.

The hon. Gentleman is perfectly right, and the figures, if they are to be trusted, show that 2 per cent. of people did not benefit in this way. When I said "we", I was trying, perhaps too crudely, to identify us with our constituents for once, given the yawning gap...

I beg to move, That the clause be read a Second time.

I know that the hon. Gentleman has only just begun, but before he finishes I hope that he will comment on the measures advocated by my right hon. Friend the Member for Oldham, West and Royton (Mr. Meacher), which aim to stop the poison from coming into the system in...

I agree entirely. We benefited by the 2p rate reduction—I say "we" because those of us in this Chamber benefited.

I will very happily stand corrected and I hope that my hon. Friend catches your eye later, Mr. Deputy Speaker.

They certainly have. I repeat that I hope my hon. Friend the Member for Stoke-on-Trent, Central (Mark Fisher) catches your eye, Mr. Deputy Speaker, to develop his point. There have been benefit changes on top of tax allowance changes for us pensioners. There have been two welcome and major initiatives...

I have been in the House for 30 years, and have moved many motions on new clauses and many amendments. I have always taken real pleasure in doing so, but I cannot say that I take much pleasure in moving this new clause, or from the feeling that we are...

That this House endorses the current system of small breweries' relief that has helped small brewers to compete with larger brewers who enjoy greater economies of scale of production, and has enabled small brewers to invest in gaining access to market; notes the importance of small and independent brewers for consumer choice, competition, tourism and local employment; recognises that independent brewers producing between 60,000 and 200,000 hectolitres are too large to benefit from small brewers' relief yet too small to benefit from the substantial economies of scale of production of the global brewers; further notes that 13 EU countries provide small breweries' relief for all independent brewers producing up to 200,000 hectolitres; and therefore urges the Government to consider an extension of small breweries' relief to benefit all independent brewers producing up to 200,000 hectolitres.

That this House expresses concern at current proposals to define a pint of beer as not less than 95 per cent. liquid; notes that the Campaign for Real Ale, the Trading Standards Institute and Local Authority Co-ordinators of Regulatory Services believes that the proposal will result in the proposed five per cent. tolerance being added to the existing deficiency threshold normally applied by enforcement agencies before considering prosecution action which will result in licensees being able to serve pints of substantially less than 95 per cent. liquid; further notes that short measures cost consumers over ??400 million annually, HM Treasury over ??54 million annually in lost excise revenues and brewers ??133 million in lost beer sales; and therefore calls on the Government to bring forward legislation to protect consumers from short beer measures by defining a pint of beer as 100 per cent. liquid.
