Following last year's beer duty cut, the British Beer and Pub Association reported that 89% of their members reduced or froze their prices, 76% of their members increased investment, and 51% of their members employed more staff. Also at this year's budget we have taken action to stop the previous Government's alcohol duty escalator and freeze the duty on ordinary cider and on spirits, as well as limiting the increases on wine duty to inflation.</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong>The Government is also taking targeted action where appropriate.
