The State Management Scheme (or 'the scheme') was the UK government's take over of the brewing, distribution and sale of liquor in three regions of the United Kingdom from 1916 until 1973.〔 〕 The main focus of the scheme was centred on Carlisle and the surrounding district close to the armament factories at Gretna founded in 1916 to supply explosives and shells to the British Army during the First World War. There were three schemes, Carlisle & Gretna, Cromarty Firth and Enfield. In 1921, Carlisle and Gretna was split into two separate areas, Carlisle was the larger part and supplied some beer to Gretna. In 1922 the Enfield scheme ended and its public houses sold back to private enterprise. The Cromarty Firth scheme did brew beer. The scheme was denationalised by Heath's 1971 Conservative Government and its assets sold at auction in six lots, mostly to established brewing interests. ==Ethos== A central pillar of the scheme was the ethos of disinterested management; public house managers had no incentive to sell liquor, which supported the aim of reducing drunkenness and its effects on the arms industry. It had a 'No Treating' policy which operated from 1916 to 1919 forbidding the buying of rounds of drinks. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「State Management Scheme」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
