Axe the Beer Tax - Campaign Update - 22nd April 2009
Dear Supporter
"CAMPAIGN TO SAVE BRITISH PUBS MOVES TO PARLIAMENT AS CHANCELLOR IGNORES CALLS TO AXE BEER TAX
The Chancellor's decision to go ahead with beer tax rises is the signing of a death warrant for thousands of more pubs across Britain - and a slap in the face to the tens of thousands of Axe the Beer Tax campaign supporters, including more than 200 MPs, publicans, the brewing industry, pubgoers and the general public.
But this issue is too important to stand aside. Pubs need your help more than ever if we are to help save a vital part of our communities and an industry that employs hundreds of thousands of jobs.
The good news is that there are more opportunities to have our voice heard - and Alastair Darling's decision to impose inflation-busting tax increases on beer still has to be approved by MPs in Parliament.
So we are now asking you to lobby your MP again to urge the Chancellor to reverse this unfair and unjustified tax hike. Simply click here to send a message to your MP asking him or her to campaign for the removal of the beer tax increase from the Finance Bill when it is presented to Parliament.
We are winning the argument to axe beer tax to save pubs. But it will take time to achieve.
Thank you for your magnificent support so far. Now let's step up the campaign so that the Government, MPs and others hear the message loud and clear - that the British public values its pubs and will fight hard to keep this vital institution alive."
