HC Deb 30 October 1990 vol 178 c430W
Mr. Butler

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry when he last met the Director General of Fair Trading to discuss the developing structure of the brewing industry.

Mr. Redwood

I met the Director General of Fair Trading on 22 August to discuss a wide variety of competition issues. My Department keeps in close touch with the Office of Fair Trading, which is monitoring developments in the brewing industry in the light of the 1989 MMC report on the supply of beer.
