    Chancellor Hunt, “British ale may be warm, but the duty on a pint is frozen”

    As part of a bid to help people with the rising cost of living, Mr Hunt announced a freeze on the duty tax for draught pints to help “the great British pub”.

    The price of a packet of cigarettes rose hours after the UK Budget was delivered in Parliament, while drinkers will see tax on alcohol go up by 10.1% in August, in line with inflation. According to London media, the only alcohol not to see a rise was draught beer where duty will be frozen. Chancellor Jeremy Hunt said this was to help “the great British pub”.
