HC Deb 30 July 1997 vol 299 c329W
Mr. Blizzard

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what representations he has received from the brewing industry in respect of bootleg imports from EU member states; and what response he plans to make. [11491]

Mr. Morley

My ministerial colleagues and I have been fully briefed by industry representatives about the impact on brewing and pubs of cross-border shopping. The issues here are primarily for the Chancellor, who announced a review of these matters in the Budget speech.
