ALCOHOL DUTY

Early day motion 595, tabled 13 January 2010 by Angela Smith (Labour). Signed by 51 members.

That this House notes the growing level of alcohol fraud in the UK through the non-payment of alcohol duty which is costing the UK Exchequer significant sums in lost revenue; further notes that this fraud is having a severe detrimental impact on the economic viability of legitimate UK traders and having negative impacts on public health as consumers are being sold cheap alcohol from illicit sources; and calls on HM Revenue and Customs to combat the growing scale of alcohol fraud in the UK, undertake robust enforcement action and implement stringent preventative measures to stop the continuation of the fraud.

Signatures by party: Labour 28, Liberal Democrat 12, Conservative 7, DUP 1, Independent 1, Scottish National Party 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
