Lord Livermore (Lab)
I have to apologise to the noble Lord, I am afraid, because I do not know the answer to his question about the applicability of this relief to Northern Ireland under the Windsor Framework. I will investigate that and write to him.
Lord Watts (Lab)
My Lords, the banks have opened hubs in some very poor communities. Would it be a good idea for the supermarkets to do the same and put food hubs in decent locations in some of these areas where people find it difficult to get good food?
Lord Livermore (Lab)
The location of supermarkets is largely a commercial decision for the supermarkets themselves and not one for me, but I believe that that is exactly what the social supermarkets that the Question relates to are trying to do.
