I have received a significant amount of correspondence in recent weeks in relation to the groceries order. These representations have generally been made by, or on behalf of, business interests which support retention of the order in its current form. I await the report of the consumer strategy group, which was established to deliberate on a wide range of consumer matters. Accordingly, I expect that the report will contain recommendations in relation to 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.
