§ 11. Mr. Livseyasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he is satisfied that all sectors of business, in particular independent grocery retailers, are benefiting from his Department's policies of competition.
§ Mr. ButcherThe Government's competition policy is designed to create a climate in which enterprises are able to compete on the basis of their perception of the market opportunities available.
