To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if his Department will make an assessment of the (a) effect of the small brewers relief scheme on the survival and growth of the UK’s small independent breweries and (b) potential merits of extending the scheme.
The Government is currently reviewing the Small Brewers Relief scheme. A technical consultation was published in January as the latest stage of this review, seeking feedback from brewers on changes to the scheme.
