HC Deb 21 January 1980 vol 977 cc34-5W
Mr. Gwilym Roberts

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if, in view of recent similar substantial increases in beer prices by all major brewers during the recent months, he will now refer the brewery industry to the Monopolies and Mergers Commission.

Mrs. Sally Oppenheim

Monopoly references are normally made by the Director General of Fair Trading. I understand that he has no plans for a reference at present.
