Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, whether the Grocery Code Adjudicator has undertaken research pursuant to the launch of an investigation into issues connected with the (a) potato and (b) vegetable-growing industry.

The Groceries Code Adjudicator is an independent regulator established under the Groceries Code Adjudicator Act 2013. Decisions relating to the exercise of the Adjudicator’s statutory powers of investigation are therefore matters for the Adjudicator.
