Definition Of A Pint Of Beer (EDM988)

Definition Of A Pint Of Beer

EDM number 988 in 2007-08, proposed by Richard Younger-Ross on 20/02/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Consumers and Food.

That this House expresses concern at the continued practice of defining a pint of beer and lager as only 95 per cent. liquid; notes that this costs consumers over Â£400 million annually; supports the call from the Campaign for Real Ale that a `pint' should be a `pint'; and calls upon the Government to legislate for a pint to be defined as 100 per cent. liquid.

This motion has been signed by a total of 46 MPs.
