§ Mr. McLoughlinTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what action he is taking in response to the representations made to him by the National Licensed Victuallers Association concerning the takeover of Home Brewery by Scottish and Newcastle and the decision of the latter to end current agreements with tenants.
§ Mr. Donald ThompsonThis is a commercial matter in which it would not be appropriate for me to intervene, but, having regard to the Brewers' Society code of practice on tenants' security, I have drawn the attention of the society to the concerns of the National Licensed Victuallers' Association.
