Groceries Code Adjudicator

On my hon. Friend's last point, about the funding of the groceries code adjudicator, there are a number of options and he mentioned one. However, he is right to say that the taxpayer will not be funding it; it will be the industry. My hon. Friend the Member for Shipley asked about the cost. We estimate that the total cost will be about £1 million a year, which will come from the industry. Once the Bill is published, he will see that it will not be a quango. I know that he is interested in working for it, but given his commitment to the free market I suggest that he applies to the Competition Commission or a similar body.
