Edward Davey: The meetings I have had with representatives of the pub industry and other stakeholders, at which I discussed matters relating to the Department's policy responsibility for competition, are given in the following table. Other policy matters relating to pubs are the responsibility of a range of Departments including the Department for Communities and Local Government, the Department for...
Jane Ellison: The British Beer and Pub Association have published estimates of the annual change in beer prices in “The story of beer duty: 2008 to 2016”. This can be found at: http://s3.amazonaws.com/bbpa-prod/attachments/documents/uplo ads/24356/original/BBPA%20Duty%20Impact%20Report%202016.pdf? 1477316467
Nicky Morgan: Budget 2014 cut the tax on a typical pint of beer by one penny. This will support pubs as the British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA) estimate nearly two thirds of the alcohol sold in pubs is beer. After the beer duty cut at Budget 2013, a BBPA survey suggested 76% of its members increased their investment and 61% employed more staff. Some pubs have diversified away from beer and these pubs...
Jo Swinson: ...he spoke at a CAMRA reception in the House of Commons. He has not met representatives of Punch Taverns, Enterprise Inns or Marston’s in 2013 or 2014 but last met representatives of the British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA), the representative organisation for brewers and pub companies, on 30 September 2013. Other BIS ministers have also met CAMRA, the BBPA and pub companies on a number...
Jane Ellison: The British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA) and its members have pledged through the Responsibility Deal (RD) to take action to help deliver the RD pledge to remove a billion units of alcohol from the market by the end of 2015, principally through improving consumer choice of lower alcohol products. Non BBPA members are encouraged to sign up too. Pubs can deliver this commitment through...
Sajid Javid: The information is not available from HMRC given that data on revenue from beer duty is not broken down to the level required to identify the amount of beer duty raised from (a) on-trade sales and (b) off-trade sales. It is possible to identify the proportion of beer sales split between on-trade and off-trade from the 2011 British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA) statistical handbook. This...
Greg Mulholland: Since December 2008, 3,218 tied pubs have closed and 425 free houses have opened, yet the British Beer and Pub Association, which speaks for pub companies, continues to mislead Ministers and MPs by stating that the opposite is actually the case. Do Ministers agree that this discredits the BBPA and also shows that the Government must stick to their commitment to act on the issue?
Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park: I too am very concerned. There are 47,000 pubs across the UK and between them they have around 140 million litres of spoiled beer that needs to be cleared from pub cellars to make way for fresh stock. That is the equivalent of around 56 Olympic swimming pools. However, there are enormous difficulties in disposing of spoiled beer. The main obstacle is that beer containers must be removed from...
Rebecca Pow: Defra and the Environment Agency are working with Water UK, the British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA), BEIS, and HMRC to facilitate the safe and efficient management of spoiled beer from pub cellars in England (as water policy is a devolved matter). Beer is a polluting substance to the water environment, so a coordinated approach to the disposal of spoiled beer is important in ensuring...
Greg Mulholland: ...issue that has exercised us has been the activities of corporate lobbyists, which at times have cast a dark shadow over the political process. A brief was circulated on 13 December by the British Beer and Pub Association, which represents the large pub companies and wishes its members to be allowed to continue to convert pubs into supermarkets without needing planning permission. The...
Greg Mulholland: Let me finish my point and I will give way. The Select Committee said: “The BBPA (British Beer and Pub Association) has shown itself to be impotent in enforcing its own timetable for reform and the supposed threat of removing the membership of pub companies who did not deliver was hollow.” Just last year the chief executive of the British Beer and Pub Association misled the Select...
Justine Greening: The brewing and pub industry represent important local businesses but are a comparatively small part of the total economy. This means that even large changes in the size of the industry have a limited impact on overall economic growth. Although alcohol consumption is not directly measured, for annual data clearances are a good proxy. Alcohol rates, receipts and clearances are published by HM...
Kemi Badenoch: ...of brewers prior to the Chancellor’s 2018 announcement, including those represented by the Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA), the Small Brewers Duty Reform Coalition (SBDRC) and the British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA).
Graeme Morrice: ...the Member for Easington. I, too, like a wee bevvie, as we say in Scotland. The amendment was tabled as a result of increasing public concern regarding the impact of alcohol duty on the price of beer and the pub industry. The British Beer and Pub Association has highlighted the fact that beer duty has increased by 42% since the beer duty escalator was introduced in 2008. It is worth noting...
Dan Rogerson: The Under-Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, my hon. Friend the Member for Camborne and Redruth (George Eustice), met the British Beer and Pub Association in March this year to discuss the producer responsibility regime for waste packaging. Officials have also met the BBPA as well as the Wine and Spirit Trade Association and individual brewing companies to discuss...
Lord Bilimoria: ...the point about pubs increasingly offering food. That is happening—it is part of their offering, along with the drink. But the noble Lord’s argument seems to imply that he is not for the British pub industry and British pubs. The BBPA, which represents 20,000 pubs in this country—the majority—and CAMRA, which represents a huge part of our beer industry, feel that these amendments...
Caroline Flint: .... of pubs would fall into the category of preparing and serving food. Two separate nationwide estimates have been produced, one by Action on Smoking and Health of 29 per cent. and one by the British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA) of 19 per cent. The percentage of pubs that might discontinue serving food will depend on the final content of the regulations that the Bill provides for. Until...
Mr Nick Hawkins: My hon. Friend will recall that I said in a debate this morning that organisations such as the British Beer and Pub Association had referred to making local authorities both judge and jury, which the Licensing Act 2003, with which my hon. Friend dealt in Committee, manages carefully to avoid. Does he agree that one reason why the BBPA is right to be worried about any legislation that says...
