Mr Will Forster

Liberal Democrat — Woking

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 July 2025

Debate

Beer Duty

Contribution

I agree. There is an economic argument for a small reduction in beer duty per pint, but, as she highlights, there are wider public community benefits as well. I have talked about trying to grow the economy and the fact that less tax per pint has better economic benefits. One of Labour’s key economic election promises was to grow the economy, so why are the Government ignoring calls from the industry to help deliver one of their key missions?
