Small Brewers And Beer Duty

EDM number 1174 in 1992-93, proposed by Iain Mills on 14/01/1993.

That this House notes that the small brewers of the United Kingdom are at a serious competitive disadvantage; and therefore urges the Chancellor of the Exchequer to introduce a progressive system of duty on their beers, similar to that being adopted throughout the European Community as now provided for in Council Directive 92/83, agreed during the United Kingdom presidency.

This motion has been signed by a total of 64 MPs.
