ENGLISH WINE AND THE EUROPEAN UNION

Early day motion 2022, tabled 24 April 2006 by Andrew Dismore (Labour). Signed by 58 members.

That this House congratulates English wine producers on the increased demand for their product; expresses concern for the future growth of this domestic industry due to the European Union planting ban which will prevent English vineyards from planting more vines when wine production hits 25,000 hectolitres per annum; and calls on the Government to ensure that the European Union raises the 25,000 hectolitre limit that triggers the planting ban to allow the continued growth of this successful domestic industry.
