Order. I do not think that Members quite understood what I said earlier. Questions must be short.

Order. Before the Foreign Secretary responds, I remind Members that we have six hours of protected business on the Finance (No. 2) Bill, so this has to move much faster—we need shorter questions. This statement will finish in about 40 minutes.

With this it will be convenient to consider the following: New clause 8— Review of impact of section 86 on the hospitality sector — “(1) The Chancellor of the Exchequer must, within six months of the passing of this Act, lay before the House of Commons a report assessing the impact of the measures contained in section 86 on the hospitality sector. (2) A report under subsection (1) must include an assessment of the impact of section 86 on— (a) levels of employment across the United Kingdom within the hospitality sector, (b) the number of hospitality businesses ceasing to trade, and (c) the number of new hospitality businesses established. (3) In this section, ‘the hospitality sector’ means persons or businesses operating in the provision of food, drink, accommodation, or related services.” This new clause would require the Chancellor of the Exchequer to review and report on the impact of the alcohol duty measures in Clause 86 on the hospitality sector, including effects on employment and business viability. New clause 9— Review of cumulative impact on the hospitality sector — “(1) The Chancellor of the Exchequer must, within six months of the passing of this Act, lay before the House of Commons a report assessing the cumulative impact on the hospitality sector of— (a) the measures contained in section 86 of this Act, and (b) changes to taxation and business costs affecting that sector introduced outside this Act since 2020. (2) For the purposes of subsection (1)(b), changes to taxation and business costs include, but are not limited to— (a) changes to employer National Insurance contribution rates or thresholds, (b) changes to business rates, including reliefs and revaluations, and (c) any other fiscal measures which materially affect operating costs for hospitality businesses. (3) A report under subsection (1) must include an assessment of the impact of the matters listed in that subsection on— (a) levels of employment across the United Kingdom within the hospitality sector, (b) the number of hospitality businesses ceasing to trade, (c) the number of new hospitality businesses established, and (d) the financial sustainability of hospitality businesses. (4) In this section, ‘the hospitality sector’ means persons or businesses operating in the provision of food, drink, accommodation, or related services.” This new clause would require the Chancellor of the Exchequer to assess and report on the cumulative impact on the hospitality sector of alcohol duty measures in the Act alongside wider fiscal changes, including employer National Insurance contributions and business rates. New clause 26— Statements on increasing alcohol duty — “(1) The Chancellor of the Exchequer must, within six months of this Act being passed, make a statement to the House of Commons on the effects of the increase to alcohol duty made under section 86 of this Act. (2) The statement made under subsection (1) must include details of the impact on— (a) the hospitality sector, (b) pubs, (c) UK wine, spirit and beer producers, (d) the employment rate, and (e) the public finances.” This new clause would require the Chancellor to make a statement about the effects of the increase in alcohol duty .

I call the shadow Minister.

I am grateful to the right hon. Gentleman for giving notice that he intended to draw attention to this matter. As he knows, that is not a point of order. He is an experienced Member who serves on the Panel of Chairs, and he does not need any guidance from the Chair on how to take this matter further—no doubt he will pursue it. Those on the Treasury Bench will have heard his request for a statement or response from the appropriate Minister.

Is it a short point of order?
13 Jan 2026 · Points of Order · Hansard source

The right hon. Member is nodding accordingly. As he knows, the Chair is not responsible for the accuracy of ministerial answers—if only we were—but I am sure the Table Office will be able to advise him on how he might pursue the matter further. Once again, I have no doubt that those on the Treasury Bench will have made a note and will pass on that information directly to the Minister involved.

I am grateful to the right hon. Member for giving notice of his point of order. I take it that he has informed the hon. Member for Wakefield and Rothwell (Simon Lightwood) that he intended to raise the matter in the House.

Let me just give colleagues a bit of guidance: if you are going to mention another Member in the Chamber, the protocol is to let them know in advance.

Order. We definitely need to speed things up or colleagues will not be able to get in.
