Mr. Brian McHugh:
There is no ongoing investigation. Vouchers and pricing in grocery stores are things we look at and monitor. There is no ongoing investigation, however. It is an issue in other countries as well and we work closely internationally because there is so much in common with the markets we look at. It is something we monitor and are aware of. We are aware of the concerns that consumers and stakeholders have. While there is no current action, groceries will always be a live area – this goes back to our prioritisation principles - because consumers spend so much money in supermarkets.
