Miss McIntosh

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what representations he has received from small brewers concerning the introduction of progressive beer duty; and if he will make a statement. [59896]

I have received representations about progressive beer duty from the Independent Family Brewers of Britain and the Society of Independent Brewers. I have asked Customs and Excise to review the case for progressive beer duty and they will provide me with advice in due course.
