Abstract: Abstract The Monopolies and Mergers Commission (MMC) Report, The Supply of Beer,1 was completed early in 1989, and confidential copies were sent to the Lord Young of Graffham, Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, and Sir Gordon Borrie, the Director General of Fair Trading (DGFT), on 3 February 1989. The Report was signed by five members of the panel, the sixth, Leif Mills, having written a Note of Dissent. The panel had said in their opening Summary: Eloquently though the industry’s case has been put, we are not persuaded that all is well. We have confirmed our provisional finding that a complex monopoly position exists in favour of the brewers with tied estates and loan ties.2
