Price Of Beer In Supermarkets

EDM number 2159 in 2007-08, proposed by Nigel Evans on 06/10/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Companies, Competition, Consumers and Service industries.

That this House notes with concern that Asda supermarkets are selling Skol lager at a price of £0.90 pence for 4x440ml cans which is the equivalent of 5.11 pence per 100ml; further notes that Asda supermarkets are selling Evian still water at 5.55 pence per 100ml; is appalled that any supermarket is selling beer cheaper than water; questions whether this is an example of loss leading sales; encourages all supermarkets to cease this practice immediately; recognises the negative effect that this has on the brewing and pub industries, with 36 pub closures a week; and calls on the Government to look at the pricing policy of beers in supermarkets as opposed to public houses.

This motion has been signed by a total of 68 MPs.
