Consumer and competition Bill
Deputy Pat Deering asks whether the consumer and competition Bill, including a grocery-sector code, will be published before Christmas; the Minister says it is at an advanced stage.
I wish to ask about the consumer and competition Bill which will make provision for a statutory code of conduct for the grocery sector. I understand it will be announced before the Christmas recess. What progress has been made on it? Are we on target to have it announced before the end of the year?
Comment on this
I am reliably informed that it is at a very advanced stage and that the target is to try to have it published before the Christmas recess.
