Will Forster MP Speaks on local impact of glass bottle tax

Woking MP, Will Forster, spoke in Parliament to defend Woking’s pubs, brewers, and the local economy from the Government’s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) scheme. Highlighting the vital role pubs play in community life and the £100 million contribution the sector makes to Woking’s economy, Will warned that the EPR scheme amounts to a hidden tax. It unsustainable costs on brewers and threatening jobs, investment, and pint prices. Calling for urgent reform, Will urged ministers to fix this broken scheme.
