CAMRA’s 187,000 members in the
East of England are asking candidates to promote and celebrate Britain’s 1,540
breweries and over 50,000 pubs by considering a range of measures to help make
pub-going and beer drinking more affordable for UK consumers.
Julian Ware-Lane has committed
to:
·
Celebrate and promote Britain’s breweries
·
Support action to help pubs thrive
·
Represent the interest of pub-goers, beer and
cider drinkers if elected into the next Parliament
Beer, brewing and pubs support
nearly 900,000 jobs and contribute £23.1bn to the economy annually. Candidates
are therefore being urged to ensure the sector is not left behind in the Brexit
negotiations due to take place in the coming years.
Julian Ware-Lane says: “I am
proud to be speaking up for pubs and real ale. Well-run community pubs play a
crucial role in local life and can have a huge impact on people’s happiness and
social inclusion. If elected, I will continue to show my support in the next
Parliament.”
Colin Valentine, CAMRA’s
National Chairman says: “We are delighted that Julian Ware-Lane has pledged
their support for beer and pubs. Pubs are a uniquely British institution which
showcase our nation’s brewing tradition while providing an essential community
facility for those that use them. It is therefore critical that pub-goers and
beer drinkers are not left behind when it comes to negotiating Britain’s future
over the coming years.”
