Beer Taxation and Pubs

"Does the hon. Gentleman agree with Colin Shevills of Balance North East, who commissioned an independent survey of publicans, that it is cheap alcohol—cheap booze—in the supermarkets that is most dangerous to our pubs and causing more closures than alcohol duty?..."

Written Question
Motor Vehicles: Liquefied Petroleum Gas
Monday 11th February 2019

Asked by: Mary Glindon (Labour - Newcastle upon Tyne East and Wallsend)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment the Government has made of the financial benefits for drivers of LPG vehicles; and whether the Government has plans to reduce tax for drivers who have converted their vehicle to run on LPG.

Answered by Robert Jenrick

The government uses the tax system to encourage the purchase of cars with low carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Vehicles powered by Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) benefit from a reduced rate of fuel duty in comparison to the main road fuel rate. Budget 2018 extended the current duty differential until 2032, subject to review in 2024.

Furthermore, from 1 March 2001, cars powered by LPG, including those converted following first registration, receive a £10 discount on their annual VED payment.

Written Question
Alcoholic Drinks: Excise Duties
Tuesday 17th July 2018

Asked by: Mary Glindon (Labour - Newcastle upon Tyne East and Wallsend)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of the total cost to the public purse of alcohol duty freezes and reductions since 2013.

Answered by Robert Jenrick

Based on the Office for Budget Responsibility’s (OBR) published policy costings, we estimate the cumulative loss to the Exchequer from the successive alcohol duty freezes and cuts from financial year 2013-14 to the current financial year 2018-19 to be around £4.0bn. This is equal to the yearly cost of employing over 100,000 teachers.

The annual impacts on the Exchequer are reported in the table below.

These past decisions will also incur future losses to the Exchequer in years beyond 2018-19. The OBR’s costings of previously announced policies currently extend to 2022-23, and the future impact of these announced freezes and cuts in the alcohol duties to that year is estimated to be around £4.4bn.

The future annual impacts are set out in the table below.
