Morning Advertiser, Grandmet And Inntrepreneur

EDM number 2100 in 1992-93, proposed by Paul Tyler on 26/05/1993.

That this House condemns the heavy-handed and bullying methods employed by GrandMet in its manoeuvres against the Morning Advertiser's campaign on behalf of Inntrepreneur tenants; notes that the Agriculture Select Committee believed that the Government's policy towards the brewing industry has done nothing to help tenants whilst the six giant breweries have increased their market share by five per cent. to 82 per cent. since the introduction of the Beer Orders; believes that the issues raised by the Morning Advertiser report of 21st May call in question both the fair trading policy of Her Majesty's Government and the actual working practices of GrandMet; and calls upon the President of the Board of Trade to instigate an immediate inquiry into the state of the brewing and licensed trade before more tenants are forced out of business.

This motion has been signed by a total of 21 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
