Britain's pubs have been hit by recession, above-inflationtax rises, poor weather last summer, and cheap alcohol deals insupermarkets. More than 2,200 have closed over the last year,according to the British Beer and Pub Association, whichrepresents the industry (Reporting by Matt Scuffham, editing by Will Waterman). The Committee also said there were strong indications thatthe existence of the tie pushed up prices to consumers. "It is clear there are many pressures on any retailbusiness, and pubs are challenged by changing consumerpreferences, changes in the regulatory framework and generaleconomic circumstances," said Luff. The Committee acknowledged not all of the problems facingthe pub industry had resulted from the beer tie arrangement.

However, Luff added that rather than making a policyrecommendation, the Committee was recommending the current tiedpub business model be referred to the Competition Commission. He said the provisional view of the Committee was that thetie should be "severely limited to ensure proper competition inthe market". Luff said the inquiry had found "alarming evidenceindicating there may be serious problems caused by the dominanceof the large pub companies". "Our report challenges pubcos to demonstrate the benefits ofthe tie, by offering their lessees the opportunity to run theirpubs on a free-of-tie basis," said Peter Luff MP, chairman ofthe Business and Enterprise Select Committee, which hasinvestigated the practice. The so-called "beer tie" enables companies such as PunchTaverns (PUB.L) and Enterprise Inns (ETI.L), Britain's biggesttwo owners of leased and tenanted pubs, to be both landlords andexclusive suppliers of beer to their publicans.

LONDON, May 13 (Reuters) - British politicians on Wednesdaychallenged leased pub companies to give tenants the right to optout of controversial tie-in arrangements that prevent themtaking their beer supplies from other companies. The dip may seem modest but given the complex treatment for the often fatal heart defects, even a small reduction can significantly reduce costs health care costs, the researchers said.(Editing by Maggie Fox). Their analysis showed no change in how many babies were born with severe heart defects in the nine years before fortification. But there was a 6 percent decrease annually for each of the seven years after fortification began. In their study, Pilote and colleagues identified all infants born in Quebec with severe congenital heart defects between 1990 and 2005. It can be added to grain products or taken as a dietary supplement. Even with fortification, many women do not get enough folic acid.
