HC Deb 05 March 1969 vol 779 c126W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what action has been taken on the recommendation contained in Report No. 13 of the National Board for Prices and Incomes, that the Government consider the desirability of an inquiry into how best they can maintain control over the sale of alcoholic liquor without at the same time impeding the entry of new competitors into the industry; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

This recommendation will be considered in due course in the light of the report of the Monopolies Commission on the supply of beer to licensed premises.
