Beer

HC Deb 27 February 1978 vol 945 cc76-7W

Mr. Corrie

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much 2p on the price of beer affects the cost of living.

Mr. Denzil Davies

An increase of 2p per pint in the price of beer would be expected to add about ⅓ per cent. to the all items retail prices index.
