Price of alcohol. Statement.
The President of the Tourism Committee made a statement in the following terms –
"1. At the States Sitting on 12th April, 1988, I replied to two questions asked by Senator Shenton concerning price increases earlier in the year by local breweries.
In response to one of the questions asked by the Senator, I indicated that a fuller reply would be made once the Economic Adviser's Office had had an opportunity to investigate the background to the recent price increases and assess whether such increases were indicative of excessive wholesale and retail margins by the local breweries.
- In undertaking the investigation, the Economic Adviser's Office has obtained information from the local breweries and from a major brewery in the United Kingdom. From this and other information relating to the costs faced by the local breweries, the Economic Adviser's Department can find no evidence that the price increases earlier this year were other than in response to increased costs generally: that is, labour costs, brought in materials and excise duty.
- The Economic Adviser's Department had carried out an enquiry into the pricing of alcoholic drink in 1987 at which time it was concluded that –
- There was no evidence that for the major suppliers wholesale/retail margins were excessive, nor was there any evidence to suggest that, in general, margins were out of line with those obtained by other traders in the Island. Within the public houses the profit mark-up also compared reasonably with United Kingdom practice.
- There was no evidence that price increases were other than in response to increased costs generally. There were particular traders who argued that their costs were higher than the average and that this was the reason for higher prices, not a higher profit margin.
- There was no evidence of a lack of competition between traders.
- The further research undertaken by the Economic Adviser's Office in response to Senator Shenton's questions in April 1988, suggests that this situation has not tangibly altered over the twelve months that have elapsed since the previous study was undertaken."
