I move amendment No. 62:

In page 83, between lines 27 and 28, to insert the following:“(iii) in respect of requiring a supplier to obtain any goods or services from a third party from whom the relevant grocery goods undertaking receives payment for this arrangement,”.

The aim of the amendment is to prohibit contracts that compel suppliers to incur costs using third party suppliers specified by the purchaser. Again, it is one of those pinch-points where suppliers can have undue pressure put on them.
