Britain's biggest pub landlord today warned that a vote by MPs to reform the historic "beer tie" between tenants and pub companies could result in a fresh wave of closures and major job losses. Enterprise Inns said yesterday's successful Commons rebellion "threatens to have serious unintended consequences for publicans and the industry at large". The British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA) said the vote was "hugely damaging" and that the Government's own research showed it would result in 1,400 more pubs closing, with 7,000 job losses.
