Refusal of the OFT to investigate Pubco's

I am shocked that the OFT have refused to investigate the unfair practices of the Pubco's. Their continued resistance to assisting the lessees and tenants in reducing costs, and in particular rental levels, is disgraceful.

The longer they they refuse to change their policy the fewer pubs there will be left to save.

In the late 80's the Beer Orders stopped brewers from owning more than 2000 pubs, because it was supposely an unfair system to customers in choice and product price. Here we are 20 years later and now it is the Pubco's that own 1000's of outlets and yet it appears to be OK, how can that be?
