Managed Pubs

EDM number 529 in 2008-09, proposed by Timothy Farron on 21/01/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Service industries.

That this House regrets the decision taken by Thwaites to unilaterally change its managed pubs into tenanted ones; considers this to be a serious threat to employees working in these pubs and to the role of the pub as the social hub of the community where people can enjoy alcohol in a responsible manner; believes that this is an unfair transfer of risk and responsibility from the company to individual publicans; and calls on Thwaites to review its policy with immediate effect.

This motion has been signed by a total of 12 MPs.
