Let M be a multimeasure defined on a $$\sigma $$
σ
-algebra and taking values in the family of bounded non-empty subsets of a Banach space X. We prove that M admits a control measure whenever X contains no subspace isomorphic to $$c_0(\omega _1)$$

. The additional assumption on X is shown to be essential.
