Tesco Sales Of Lager At Below Cost

EDM number 352 in 2010-12, proposed by Bob Russell on 29/06/2010.
Categorised under the topics of Alcoholism and Service industries.

That this House deplores the behaviour of Tesco in selling lager below-cost price only a month after calling on the Government to outlaw the practice; notes that Tesco was the only major supermarket company to be found doing so according to research undertaken by the Financial Mail; observes that the company will be holding its Annual General Meeting on 2 July 2010, and hopes that institutional and individual shareholders will condemn the deliberate below-cost sales of alcohol; and calls on the Government to undertake a thorough investigation of discounting in the sale of alcohol drinks by supermarket companies, which is contrary to the principles of competition and damaging to the health of consumers.

This motion has been signed by a total of 30 MPs.
