Wine and Beer

HC Deb 18 July 1983 vol 46 c64W

Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he intends to adjust duties on wine and beer in consequence of the European court decision that British beer tax should be increased or wine tax reduced.

Mr. Hayhoe

The decision of the European Court on the wine and beer duties will be taken into account when the rates of excise duties are reviewed before the Budget.
