The consumer strategy group was established to deliberate on a wide range of consumer matters. I am awaiting the report of group and I expect that it will contain recommendations on the groceries order. On receipt of the report, I will consider the group's findings in consultation with my Government colleagues and interested parties before deciding what action is appropriate.
