Abstract: Abstract When Sir Gordon Borrie, Director General of Fair Trading, told the Brewers’ Society in August 1985 that he had advised the Government that the task of reducing local concentrations of pub ownership had been effectively completed, the Society believed that a long saga had ended. Thus it was remarked in its Annual Report for the year to September 1985 that “This was an extremely satisfactory position and represented a closing of the files on matters which had caused the industry concern since the days of the Monopolies Commission (MC) inquiry in 1966.”1
