Finance Bill

"That is a welcome intervention. I welcome the Minister to her place, as she has wide experience in this area. I understand that she was the longest-serving Conservative public health Minister.

Written Question
Alcoholic Drinks: Excise Duties
Thursday 17th March 2016

Asked by: David Burrowes (Conservative - Enfield, Southgate)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the reasons are for the difference between the duty imposed on cider with alcohol content of 7.5 per cent and beer with a similar alcohol content.

Answered by Damian Hinds

There are higher duty rates on both beer and cider above 7.5 per cent alcohol by volume compared to standard strength beers and ciders. This is to encourage the production and consumption of lower strength products.

The Chancellor keeps all duty rates under review as part of the Budget process.

Enterprise Bill [Lords]

"The impact assessment has been published today. That is important. The Bill has already received some scrutiny in Committee.
