Distribution Of The Eu Wine Lake

EDM number 2494 in 2005-06, proposed by Ian Davidson on 03/07/2006.

That this House notes that the EU wine lake is 34.8 million hectolitres (765.5 million gallons) at the latest measurement; further notes that there are 74 million pensioners in the EU; further notes that every pensioner in the EU could be given a free bottle of wine every week for a year without emptying the wine lake; further notes the previous success of free distribution of surplus EU butter, cheese and beef; and therefore calls on the Minister for Europe to arrange for every pensioner in the UK to receive, free of charge, a dozen bottles of wine, to be distributed by local hon. Members to their constituents.

This motion has been signed by a total of 36 MPs.
