It is in theory a good idea, though Who would get the price difference? The retailer, government or producer. If the premium brands are very little more than the cheap stuff they will increase their prices. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted.

if the price is put up, the exchequer will also gain some in extra VAT.

Add in the fact that it will boost the profits of the retailer or manufacturer so increase the corporation tax take as well. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted.
