HC Deb 10 November 1971 vol 825 c187W
Mr. Bishop

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he is aware that the Brewers' Society in December, 1970 gave an undertaking, following consultations with the Government, that tenants and managers would be able to obtain from elsewhere goods for which there was a demand and which the brewery was unwilling to supply; and if he will take steps to see that the undertaking is implemented.

Mr. Ridley

The recommendation that the Brewers' Society made to its members, following the report of the Monopolies Commission, included one on increased choice to the public for wines, spirits, cider and minerals. I am taking a close interest in the practical results of the Society's recommendations.
