	tabling member constituency	Strangford

	uin	286234
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>The financial impact of policy decisions can be found in the policy costings document published alongside each budget. Wine duty was not frozen at Budget 2018, however the impact of freezing the other alcohol duties and introducing a new band for high strength cider is estimated to cost the exchequer around £175m per year. Internal modelling indicates that duty freezes raise alcohol consumption, in comparison to uprating rates alongside inflation. No internal assessment has been of the impacts of this on alcohol-related deaths.</p> answering member constituency Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland answering member printed Mr Simon Clarke question first answered 09/09/2019 10:12:42 answering member 4655 label Biography information for Sir Simon Clarke
