Supermarket Regulator

Until this evening, I thought that my hon. Friend had nothing in common with his predecessor. However, in relation to town-fringe stores, is not it the case, as my hon. Friend the Member for Worcester (Mr. Foster) said, that the picture painted in the planning application—especially in economic terms—is often seriously adrift a year down the line? The jobs that the supermarket said it would create may well be in place, but jobs will be lost, not just in the small shops that might otherwise have sold the goods concerned, but in other shops in the town centre, because people are less likely to go there to buy their newspaper, have their shoes repaired and so on. Let us have a post-planning permission audit in economic terms as well.
