The committee aims to determine whether Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, and Morrisons can anticipate any significant price reductions in the near future. Additionally, the latest inflation figures, recently disclosed by the Office for National Statistics, reveal that food and non-alcoholic food price hikes have slightly eased but persist at a stubbornly high 18.4%. The upcoming session, scheduled for Tuesday, June 27th at 10.10am in Committee Room 8, will feature the participation of Sir Robert Goodwill and Ian Byrne, members of the Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs Committee. Furthermore, the committee will gather evidence from the Groceries Code Adjudicator regarding its recent performance and future plans to ensure fair treatment of direct suppliers by retailers.
