DEFINITION OF A PINT OF BEER

Early day motion 988, tabled 20 February 2008 by Richard Younger-Ross (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 46 members.

That this House expresses concern at the continued practice of defining a pint of beer and lager as only 95 per cent. liquid; notes that this costs consumers over £400 million annually; supports the call from the Campaign for Real Ale that a `pint' should be a `pint'; and calls upon the Government to legislate for a pint to be defined as 100 per cent. liquid.
