Beer Taxation and Pubs

Debate between Nigel Evans and Lindsay Hoyle

Thursday 28th March 2019 Commons Chamber

[Mr Nigel Evans (Ribble Valley) (Con)]

I declare an interest, as president of the all-party parliamentary beer group. It is great to follow the hon. Member for Stoke-on-Trent North (Ruth Smeeth). I do not think she heard, but when she told us that she was the MP for the Titanic brewery, I shouted, “I suspect she’s sunk a few of those.” I know I have.

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Sir Lindsay Hoyle)]

It was not a good joke the first time you said it.
