Proceeding contribution from Greg Mulholland (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 January 2012. It occurred during Backbench debate on Pub Companies.

Pub Companies

To be clear, the CGA Strategy figures, which no one disputes, show that between December 2008 and June 2011, the number of tied pubs fell by 3,216, and that in the same period the number of free-of-tie pubs increased by 425. Does the hon. Lady agree that it is baffling that the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills simply accepted the British Beer and Pub Association's misleading representation of those events, which, as she says, omitted transfers that happen. in some cases deliberately to distort the figures?
