	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/09/2015 answer text <p>The dairy industry code of best practice on contractual arrangements was created in Great Britain in 2012. About 85% of British milk is bound by the principles of the code. The code's introduction has led to some important improvements for milk producers. The last annual review of the code’s operation conducted by Alex Fergusson, MSP was broadly positive about its impact and recommended that it should retain its voluntary nature.</p><p> </p><p>Following the Environment Secretary’s meeting with the farming unions last month to discuss the current dairy troubles, an industry working group was asked to look urgently at best practice models on labelling, merchandising and sourcing for dairy. This group, independently facilitated by the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board will submit proposals in the coming weeks based on industry views on changes that could be made at retail and in the supply chain.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 08/09/2015 13:25:59 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/10/2015 answer text <p>The terms of the Groceries Code Adjudicator (GCA) review are set out in section 15 of the GCA Act 2013. This states that the review must:</p><br /><p>(a) consider how much the Adjudicator's powers have been exercised; and</p><p>(b) assess how effective the Adjudicator has been in enforcing the Groceries Code</p><p><br> Under the Act the GCA’s role is to enforce the Groceries Supply Code of Practice which regulates the relationship between the ten largest supermarkets and their direct suppliers. There are no powers in the Act 2013 that would allow Ministers to extend the GCA’s jurisdiction. Changes to the GCA’s remit would require either a decision by the Competition and Markets Authority to conduct a further investigation into the sector or primary legislation to amend the 2013 Act.</p> answering member constituency Grantham and Stamford answering member printed Nick Boles question first answered 19/10/2015 13:03:21 answering member 3995 label Biography information for Nick Boles
