Competition Commission Inquiry Into The Acquisition Of Bass Brewers By Interbrew
EDM number 19 in 2000-01, proposed by Janet Dean on 06/12/2000.
That this House welcomes the decision by the TGWU, CMB and the AEEU, who between them represent over 85 per cent. of workers in the brewing industry, to support the acquisition of Bass Brewers by Interbrew; notes that the unions' decision to support the Interbrew acquisition is based on the belief that the deal is the best outcome for Bass brewers' employees; further notes that forced disposals of brands or breweries would undermine employment prospects; believes that Interbrew is a dedicated brewer which will protect consumer choice; and urges the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry to approve this deal unconditionally.
This motion has been signed by a total of 63 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
