BRC COMMENT ON OFT SUPERMARKET CODE CONCLUSION

03 August 2005

Commenting on the OFT's conclusions on the Supermarket Code of Practice, BRC Director General, Kevin Hawkins, said:

"The OFT's findings confirm what the BRC has said all along - that supermarkets are observing the Code but suppliers are not making use of it. The OFT also conclusively rules out the creation of an ombudsman or regulator for the industry.

"We also welcome the confirmation that consumers are benefiting from competition in grocery retailing, with supermarkets providing lower food prices, greater choice and high quality produce."
