Representatives of the GMV are to meet with Timothy Farron Lib Dem MP who is campaigning for Government action to "prevent the exploitation of pub landlords" by pub companies.
The meeting is scheduled for the 6th May in London, representing the GMV will be the Executive Officer, John Madden CMBII, Bernard Brindley, Chairman of the GMV Parliamentary Committee, Godfrey Page, Chairman of the GMV, and Brian Rees a parliamentary committee member.
Farron has expressed his grave concerns as to the conduct of those brewers and pubco's that make it very difficult for pub landlords to earn a reasonable living by increasing rents, he has tabled an early day motion (EDM) on the matter.
It is hoped that the outcome of the meeting will be to increase the awareness of MP's to the plight of many licensed outlets and win their backing to the EDM.
Details of the meeting will be in the July edition of The Guild News, on the GMV website www.gomv.co.uk and on this blog.
