Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, on how many occasions the Grocery Code Adjudicator has (a) launched an investigation, (b) recommended enforcement measures and (c) made a recommendation to the Office of Fair Trading that the Code should be changed since publication of the Adjudicator's 2013-14 annual report.

The Groceries Code Adjudicator is an independent regulator established under the Groceries Code Adjudicator Act 2013.

I am not aware that the Adjudicator has exercised any of these regulatory functions since the publication of her Annual Report for 2013 – 2014 on 22 July 2014.
