To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what recent representations he has received from (a) brewers and (b) owners of public houses on the effects of alcohol duty on their businesses; and if he will make a statement. (252957)

As was the case with previous Administrations, it is not the Government’s practice to provide details of all such representations.
