Proceeding contribution from Philip Hollobone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 December 2005. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Supermarket Regulator.


Supermarket Regulator

I congratulate the hon. Gentleman on securing this important debate. I am a modest and humble member of the all-party group on small shops. Is the hon. Gentleman aware that the group is conducting an inquiry entitled, ““Britain’s high street 2015””? The year 2015 is the 200th anniversary of the battle of Waterloo, and Napoleon said that England was a nation of small shopkeepers. Does the hon. Gentleman share my concern that there will be tens of thousands fewer shopkeepers in 2015 as a result of the behaviour of the supermarkets?
