HC Deb 24 July 1986 vol 102 c339W
Mr. Ron Brown

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what recent representations he has received about the closure of Lorimer and Clark's Brewery in Edinburgh; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Allan Stewart

My right hon. and learned Friend has received no representations. I very much regret the decision to close the Lorimer and Clark Brewery in Edinburgh. However, the decision of closure was taken on commercial grounds and is a matter for the judgment of Vaux plc of Sunderland.
