I move amendment No. 14:

In page 11, between lines 28 and 29, to insert the following: “(d) the regulator shall be authorised to seek from businesses within the agri-food supply chain any data impacting upon price and margins considered necessary, including—

(i) prices paid and received,

(ii) margin,

(iii) financial and accounting data,

(iv) throughput of agricultural produce,

(v) data in relation to policy and procedure,

(vi) employment status, and

(vii) salary,

and

(e) data referenced under paragraph (d) may be in paper or electronic form, held by a business involved in the agri-food supply chain, or otherwise on their behalf.”.

Again, this is an amendment that has arisen from Committee Stage debate. I understand the Minister has agreed to accept this amendment. We have reworded it as per the conversation that was had on Committee Stage. Perhaps the Minister will confirm that he is willing to accept that amendment.
