Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what discussions he has had with breweries that produce less than 5000 hectolitres of beer on changes to Small Brewers Relief.

Further information will be published alongside the technical consultation later this year.

The Government listened to a wide range 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).
