Above 8.5% ABV there is to be no differentiation between product categories, providing a more level playing field between spirits and other products. This will end the position where higher strength wines and beers pay less duty per unit than spirits.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 15/02/2022 11:43:17 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately
