(TheDrinksBusiness) - A potential debate in Parliament on beer tax is a step closer with 80,000 signatures registered for the CAMRA e-petition. At the Great British Beer Festival, organised by CAMRA, it was announced that after a response from attendees during its opening sessions, the beer tax e-petition has now broken the 80,000 signature barrier. The petition requires 100,000 signatures to secure a debate in Parliament on an issue which has been a major talking point all year. The movement against beer tax is gaining momentum with 8,000 signatures secured in just three days since the festival first opened its doors.
