Liberal Democrat — Witney

Speaking in the House of Commons on 11 November 2025

Debate

Alcohol Duty: UK Wine Sector

Contribution

I am just going to make a plea. HMRC is losing nearly £1 billion a year, which is incredibly bad news, and there are massive frictions and admin costs on business. Why would we not just go back to the easement? We can stand looking at this massive problem, or we can face facts and deal with it—and actually get money for the Exchequer.
