Groceries Code Adjudicator Bill — Clause 13 — Recommendations to Office of Fair Trading — 26 Feb 2013 at 15:58

Stewart Jackson MP, Peterborough voted against requiring the Office of Fair Trading to publish a response to any recommendations for changes to the Groceries Code proposed by the Groceries Code Adjudicator.

The majority of MPs voted against requiring the Office of Fair Trading to publish a response to any recommendations for changes to the Groceries Code proposed by the Groceries Code Adjudicator.

MPs were considering the Groceries Code Adjudicator Bill[1][2]. The amendment rejected in this vote was:

  • Amendment proposed: 3, page 5, line 18, at end insert—
  • ‘(2) The Office of Fair Trading shall be required to publish a response to the Adjudicator on the recommendations set out in subsection (1) explaining whether they will be acted upon or not.’.

Had it not been rejected this amendment would have resulted in the above text being added to Clause 13[3] of the Bill which at the time of the vote was titled Recommendations to Office of Fair Trading and stated:

  • If the Adjudicator considers it appropriate for any changes to be made to the Groceries Code, he or she must recommend them to the Office of Fair Trading.
