Beer: Competition
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether he plans to introduce a guest beer agreement in England.
Answered by Kate Dearden
My Honourable friend is a real champion of local breweries, especially Moot Brewery in Halling, which she visits regularly and knows produces excellent beer. The government fully recognises the importance of independent breweries and pubs, and we are committed to ensuring the beer and pub sector remains diverse, competitive and rooted in local communities. We have reviewed the beer market to assess any barriers facing small breweries, and I will announce the outcome in due course.
