For as long as we give them the green light on this, and for as long as they are not held accountable for their financial model, which underpins the way they do business in this country, such companies will simply run a coach and four through this Bill, all of the associated provisions and all the grocery goods legislation. In his heart of hearts the Minister knows that. If it is a European stipulation that is stopping us, then Europe must be challenged. We cannot stand by any more and allow these organisations to use this leniency and the lacuna in the law relating to their financial model to do the damage that many of them are doing in our society as a whole.
