Competition Test In The Grocery Market

EDM number 996 in 2008-09, proposed by Danny Alexander on 05/03/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Competition, Food and Service industries.

That this House welcomes the Competition Commission's recommendation that a competition test should be introduced in the planning system to tackle local supermarket monopolies; believes that the introduction of a competition test is essential to promoting diversity of retail provision and choice for consumers and protection for communities from the dominant position of some retailers; and calls on the Government to pass the competition test into law without any further delay.

This motion has been signed by a total of 34 MPs.
