Progress has been made by pub companies in giving tenants a fairer deal, but new codes of practice should be carefully examined, the Association of Licensed Multiple Retailers has stated.
Nick Bish, chief executive of the organisation, made the remarks at the All-Party Parliamentary Save the Pub Group at Westminster earlier this week.
Codes of practice require "a forensic examination to make sure they deliver", he said, according to the Morning Advertiser.
Meanwhile, the Publican reports that MPs heard recommendations from Steve Corbett of the Fair Pint campaign and Clive Davenport of the Federation of Small Businesses.
Greg Mulholland, who chairs the parliamentary group, commented on reforms made by the pub companies.
"This is a critical time to look at what progress has been made and whether this deals with the plan for reform laid out by the Business and Enterprise Select committee and the last and current government," he noted.
If serious changes are not made, government intervention may be required next June, the MP added.
