Groceries Code Adjudicator

I must press on because the hon. Member for St Ives also wishes to speak. The point is that we already have an existing code. Why we need an ombudsman on top of that when such matters can already be enforced is beyond me. What does the Minister envisage the cost would be of establishing a grocery ombudsman, and who would pay for it? I think it would be expensive, and that will lead only to higher prices. If we pass on higher returns to the supplier, the only possible consequence in a market that is already incredibly popular—margins for supermarkets are already low—will be an effect on the consumer. In an industry worth £130 billion a year, 1% of that is £1.3 billion, 2% is £2.6 billion and so on. I have no idea how much extra people expect suppliers to get, but even if it is only in that region, it is a massive cost to pass on to consumers at a time when people cannot afford to pay their bills. Constituents who are struggling will not thank hon. Members when they find out that huge increases in cost have been passed on.
