My hon. Friend is making a good point. On the Competition Commission inquiry, does he agree that the Tesco announcement was made largely in response to the requirement for a public relations boost for how it is seen by the dairy industry? Does he also agree that the nature of the contracts themselves—the short-term changes, the overriders, the paying for promotion and other conditions—need to be looked at? That is why the Competition Commission should come down hard on the retailers to protect primary producers.
