Debate

Finance (No. 2) Bill

Contribution

Drinkers in Britain already pay around 54p of duty per pint pulled in the pub. The British Beer and Pub Association states that Britain, and England, has the third highest level of tax in Europe when it comes to drinking a pint in a pub, after Finland and Ireland. That is outrageous when we know all the positive impacts that pubs have on those rural communities, and on people who like to go to the pub to enjoy it.
