Campaigners reject this as risible. Andrew George, the Liberal Democrat MP for St Ives who leads the Grocery Market Action Group, said: “The cost to each retailer for the costs of the adjudicator is put at £120,000 per annum.

Are they saying that it will cost them more to behave decently and legally in their dealings with suppliers?”
