Clause 2 - Rate of duty on beer
Finance Bill
10:00 am
Mr John Healey (Economic Secretary, HM Treasury; Wentworth, Labour)
I made the point clearly that the figures from the independent Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development show that Britain's economy is one of the most lightly taxed in the European Community. As I draw my comments to a conclusion, I trust that that answers the points that have been put to me and I hope that the Committee will approve clause 2.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 2 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
