Morning press briefing from 3 April 2008


Alcohol Duty

Asked whether the Prime Minister had any comment on Gerry Sutcliffe's criticisms of the Budget and the fact that plans for an escalation on alcohol duty was going to damage pubs, the PMS said that he had not seen the comments from Gerry Sutcliffe and neither had the Prime Minister. Without knowing their full context, he would be reluctant to comment on them.
