Good. Subsection (e) refers to all other goods sold in grocery goods undertakings. We must accept the reality that large retailers stock and sell a vast array of products which are not covered in the Bill. There is no protection for electrical or hardware suppliers or suppliers of flowers, newspapers, magazines, stationery, greeting cards, clothing, ties, giftware and so on. This is the purpose of our amendment. I listened to what the Minister had to say, but I believe this worthwhile amendment should be supported.
