I move amendment No. 5:

In page 85, lines 10 and 11, to delete "or indirectly through franchise arrangements,".

It has been argued that franchisees should not be included in any definition in this Bill as it implies that they act in cohort or collectively with a related undertaking. As the Bill stands, there is no specific reference to the amount of grocery goods, as defined, being part of the purchasing made by the franchisee from the related undertaking. This is why we are proposing to delete the words mentioned.
