Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the changes to alcohol duty announced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer on 27 October, what the situation will be for wines which are laid down en primeur, prior to 31 March 2023.
The changes announced at the Budget will take effect on 1 February 2023. Any wine which is released for consumption after this date will incur the new duty rates, in the usual way.
