Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation — 2. Beer (rate of duty) — 23 Mar 1998

Mr Peter Temple-Morris MP, Leominster voted with the majority (Aye).

The Aye voters passed the following motion:

"That provision may be made increasing the rate of duty set out in section 36(1) of the Alcoholic Liquor Duties Act 1979."

Looking at clause 1 of the Finance Bill 1998 (scroll down to page 1) it would seem that the rate of duty on beer was being increased from £11.14 to £11.50.
