FUTURE OF BANKS' BREWERY

That this House notes with concern the hostile bid made by Marstons for fellow Midlands brewery Banks; further notes the non-binding agreement between Bass and Marstons and considers that should the bid be successful this would give Bass more than a 50 per cent. share of the Midlands beer market; and therefore calls upon the Office of Fair Trading to investigate the bid in the interests of consumers.
