Supplementary memorandum from the Brewers'
and Licensed Retailers' Association
Please find attached a copy of two extracts
from our Statistical Handbook 2000, to which I referred while
giving evidence to the Scottish Affairs Committee.
As we discussed, there is no reference to pubco
ownership in Scotland within the breakdown. As a rough estimate
of the likely figures for Scotland I believe that, taking the
definition of pubco as being substantial multiple ownership ie
over 50 properties, the current figure for pubco may be around
500.
I also attach an analysis of the recent study
which the BLRA undertook concerning access of underage teenagers
to bootlegged alcohol to which I referred extensively during my
evidence.
