Proceeding contribution from Michael Connarty (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 November 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Groceries Code Adjudicator Bill [Lords].
Groceries Code Adjudicator Bill [Lords]
As my hon. Friend will have heard in my earlier intervention, having read through the code it seems there is absolutely nothing in it to protect the labour factor in the supply chain. Will my hon. Friend take on board the need to raise that issue in Committee and table amendments so that people who use gangmasters cannot hide behind them if those gangmasters then use crooks, as recently happened in the Noble/Freedom Food eggs case, which I believe is now going to court?
