As part of a dispute over covid, China imposed particularly punishing tariffs on Australian wine, damaging that industry. May I urge the House of Commons Commission to stand with our Australian friends and allies, and prioritise buying Australian wine and encouraging its use in our venues to make it clear that bullying does not pay?

Of course, if colleagues here wish to prioritise the purchase of Australian wine from the wine list, I encourage them to do so, but I also remind them that we have very good English wines on the wine list as well. More generally, I am sure the nation has heard the right hon. Gentleman’s call to arms, so when we are out in the supermarkets stocking our own shelves, perhaps we should all be mindful of buying two or three bottles of Australian wine as well—seriously—to show solidarity with our Australian friends and their growers.
To ask the hon. Member for Broxbourne, representing the House of Commons Commission, if the Commission will take steps to increase purchases of Australian wine for sale in the House of Commons.

The wine sold in the House of Commons is reviewed annually, with the next review due in the spring of 2024. The right hon. Gentleman’s question specifically relates to Australian wine; I understand that a Chardonnay and a Shiraz are available, compared with three English wines, so Australian wine is represented on the wine list in the Palace of Westminster.
Will the right hon. Gentleman give way?

I thank the right hon. Gentleman for giving way. As a member of the Campaign for Real Ale, I welcome his comments about the brewing industry. If we get the reduction to 22%, it will be welcome. On wine, he rightly references British vineyards, which are a great success story....

That this House notes that the EU wine lake is 34.8 million hectolitres (765.5 million gallons) at the latest measurement; further notes that there are 74 million pensioners in the EU; further notes that every pensioner in the EU could be given a free bottle of wine every week for a year without emptying the wine lake; further notes the previous success of free distribution of surplus EU butter, cheese and beef; and therefore calls on the Minister for Europe to arrange for every pensioner in the UK to receive, free of charge, a dozen bottles of wine, to be distributed by local hon. Members to their constituents.
