Federation Brewery

EDM number 1132 in 2003-04, proposed by David Clelland on 05/05/2004.

That this House deeply regrets the demise of the Northern Clubs' Federation Brewery, founded in 1919 and with a long tradition of brewing beers and lagers in Newcastle and Gateshead; congratulates all who have been associated with and worked for the organisation over those years and the Workingmen's Club movement that created it and supported it; urges the new owner of the brewery, Scottish and Newcastle, to maintain the production of the excellent and award winning Federation products and the special relationship with the Northern Clubs; calls upon Scottish and Newcastle to be generous to all those who will be casualties of the reduction in employment resulting from the closure of the Tyne Brewery in Newcastle, which has an equally long and proud history, and the transfer of production to the Federation site; and looks forward to the continuation of the brewing of fine beers and lagers on Tyneside, not the least of which is the world famous Newcastle Brown Ale.

This motion has been signed by a total of 31 MPs.
