TAKEOVER BID FOR WOLVERHAMPTON AND DUDLEY BREWERIES

That this House expresses its concern that the current takeover bid for Wolverhampton and Dudley Breweries by Pubmaster poses a considerable threat to the future of the Park Brewery, Wolverhampton, whose Banks's beers are much cherished locally as locally-brewed ales catering for local taste, which are part of the cultural heritage of the city; recognises that any attempt to brew Banks's elsewhere would be unacceptable to local drinkers; and opposes the closure of Banks's Brewery, which would be a considerable blow to the employees of the brewery and to the general economic and social well-being of the West Midlands community.
