I intend to press it because we have been asked to ensure the practice of below-cost selling is prohibitive. We accept there are difficulties with using the legislative route to achieve this. A first step towards it would be ensuring the costs of production are determined. If the Minister were able to provide an alternative formula of words or if he believes the one we have presented is too broad, we would be willing to engage with him on it. From my reading, however, he is saying he simply does not accept the amendment. Therefore, I intend to press it.
