CAMRA'S CAMPAIGN TO SUPPORT THE LEEDS TETLEY'S BREWERY

Early day motion 1986, tabled 12 October 2009 by Greg Mulholland (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 37 members.

That this House supports the Campaign for Real Ale's (CAMRA) quest to save Leeds Tetley's Brewery from closure by Carlsberg Tetley; notes that Tetley's ales have been brewed in Leeds for 187 years and that it is an iconic Leeds brand; deplores the potential loss of 170 jobs should the Leeds Brewery be closed; believes that any brand claiming to be a Leeds beer must be brewed in Leeds, using water from Leeds, with a Leeds workforce; and calls on Carlsberg Tetley to continue brewing Tetley's ales in Leeds, welcomes Leeds City Council's motion supporting the CAMRA campaign in calling for a local and national campaign to persuade Carlsberg Tetley to save the Leeds Brewery.

Signatures by party: Labour 25, Liberal Democrat 7, Conservative 2, Scottish National Party 2, Independent 1.
