SHIPSTONES BREWERY, NOTTINGHAM

That this House supports the campaign to keep open the Shipstones Brewery, Nottingham, now owned by Greenall Whitley; and calls for the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry to launch an immediate inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the proposed closure, including: (a) the transfer of beer production to Allied Breweries thus circumventing the market share regulations, (b) the insistence on selling the brewery without its outlets, defying the spirit of the recent Monopolies and Mergers Commission report, (c) the discounting of its beer prices by Allied Breweries to undercut the viability of Shipstones, (d) the loss of 200 much-needed jobs and (e) the threat to choice, diversity and a valued local tradition in Nottinghamshire and the East Midlands.
