Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Alan Meale (Labour), on Monday, 14 July 2008, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 46 members in total.
COMPETITION COMMISSION REPORT ON THE GROCERY SECTOR
That this House notes the Competition Commission has recently released its final report following a two year investigation into the grocery sector, which found evidence that some supermarket companies have systematically abused their financial position with a number of their overseas suppliers; and believes it essential that the UK Government demonstrates its continuing commitment to delivering a fair deal to overseas workers by their adoption and implementation of the Commission's Report recommendations which include the establishment in the UK of an independent ombudsman for this sector, given the necessary powers to take effective action against any UK operating company found guilty of trading abuse of those within its supply chains.
