A cross-parliamentary group of MPs has urged the government to reduce tax burdens on pubs and brewers, to help them get back on their feet after a particularly difficult year for hospitality.
The All-Party Parliamentary Beer Group (APPBG), which is made up 16 MPs from various parties, has urged the government to consider lowering duty, VAT or business rates for pubs and breweries, including looking at lowering duty on draught beers, which are exclusively available in licensed premises.

Have Minnesota’s Police Reform Efforts Made An Impact?
CBS Minnesota 5/24/2021 Syndicated Local – WCCO | CBS Minnesota
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) You hear about it almost every day: the debate about police reform in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death and other incidents involving police that have prompted protests.
And while proposals are being considered now at both the federal and state level, some far-reaching changes to policing have been enacted by both the Minnesota legislature and individual communities.
But have they had an impact? Esme Murphy takes a look.
The death of Floyd was so shocking it prompted the Minnesota Legislature, known for its paralysis, to actually do something. Last July it passed the Police Accountability Act of 2020. It includes a ban on chokeholds, arbitration reform, requiring a duty to intervene, as well as autism and mental health training. Its impact depends on who you talk to.
