Mr. Michael Cocks

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the average original gravity of draught lager beers sold in the United Kingdom; and what is the duty per pint on this average original gravity.

Mr. Higgins

This information is not available because the statistical records of original gravities do not distinguish between different types of beer.
