Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation — 2. Beer (rate of duty) — 23 Mar 1998
Theresa May MP, Maidenhead voted in the minority (No).
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.
