Mr Lee Dillon

Liberal Democrat — Newbury

Speaking in the House of Commons on 13 January 2026

Debate

Finance (No. 2) Bill

Contribution

Under this Government, we also have the situation whereby champagne in France is taxed at 40% less than sparkling wine is taxed in this country. If we are levelling the playing field, does the hon. Gentleman believe that the Government should also level the playing field for English sparkling wine so that it can compete with champagne?
