Beer Duty Escalator (No. 2)

EDM number 2785 in 2010-12, proposed by Andrew Griffiths on 28/02/2012.

That this House notes that beer and pubs contribute 21 billion to UK GDP and supports almost one million jobs, almost half of them for 16 to 24 year olds; acknowledges that brewing is one of British manufacturing's success stories; believes that 2012, as a year of national celebrations, is the perfect time to recognise the economic and social value of great British beer and the pub industry; and so urges the Government to listen to consumer and industry groups, including the British Beer and Pub Association, the Society of Independent Brewers and the Campaign for Real Ale, who have united to call on the Chancellor of the Exchequer to support Britain's beer and pub sector by suspending the beer duty escalator to help reduce pub closures, create 5,000 additional jobs and ensure pub going remains an affordable leisure activity.

This motion has been signed by a total of 121 MPs.
