Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they plan to extend the remit of the Groceries Code Adjudicator.

Before we consider an extension of the Groceries Code Adjudicator’s (GCA) remit, we need to be absolutely clear on where any problems exist in the supply chain – and that an extended remit is the right response to those problems. Therefore, it is important that we hear views from all parties in the UK’s grocery supply chain.

In order to gather these views we recently launched a Call for Evidence seeking views on the remit of the GCA.

The Call for Evidence launched on the 17 October and closes on the 10 January.
