HC Deb 07 March 1995 vol 256 c150W
Mr. Wareing

To ask the President of the Board of Trade when he expects to receive the report of the Director of Fair Trading on the brewing industry.

Mr. Jonathan Evans

[holding answer 3 March 1995]: My right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade expects to receive the report when the inquiry has been completed to the satisfaction of the Director General of Fair Trading. When announcing the inquiry on 7 February, the Office of Fair Trading indicated that it expected it to last three months, although this is dependent on receiving the full co-operation of the industry.
