Oral Answers to Questions

Greg Mulholland Excerpts

Monday 17th December 2012 Commons Chamber

[Brandon Lewis]

The Prime Minister has already announced the consultation on minimum pricing for alcohol, and I am sure that he will report back on that in due course.

[Greg Mulholland (Leeds North West) (LD)]

Talking of supermarkets, the Minister will be aware that supermarkets are deliberately targeting pubs, often sold to them by indebted pub companies, without the community having any say whatsoever. As someone who believes in the pub and in localism, he cannot accept that. Will he meet the all–party save the pub group to tell us how he plans to change that?

[Brandon Lewis]

I am happy to meet the group.
