Groceries Code Adjudicator Bill [HL]

I am grateful to the noble Lord for his intervention, but I doubt whether a state-appointed sole corporation will generate more confidence.

There are all sorts of problems. I used to supply power steering pump casings to Delphi in Strasbourg on a schedule. One week it would be three container loads and the next week it would be one, then suddenly in the middle of the week it would be four, but the following week it would be none. That is the way that just-in-time supply works. There is no escape from it, and it does not matter whether it is the supply of lettuces or steering pump housings, where we were the only people who made them for Delphi.
