Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment his Department has made of the effect of the forecast rise in inflation on the Government's projections for wine duty income over the next five years.

The Office for Budget Responsibility publishes the forecast for wine duty receipts and wine clearances. This is published in the Economic and Fiscal Outlook. The most recent Economic and Fiscal Outlook was published in March 2016, and is available at http://budgetresponsibility.org.uk/efo/economic-fiscal-outlook-march-2016/
