COMPETITION COMMISSION, SUPERMARKETS AND PRODUCERS

That this House tentatively welcomes the Competition Commission's emerging thinking on its review of the dominance of the supermarkets in the market place; calls on the Competition Commission to keep in mind the poor and unfair prices often paid to farmers, especially dairy farmers, for their commodities in the United Kingdom; and further calls for other supermarkets to follow the lead of Waitrose and Marks and Spencer, who pay a fair price for milk whereby the farmer is paid the production price for the milk produced.
