Chamber and committees

You mentioned the Covid pandemic. Supermarkets were recording record profits at that time. Is that still the case? Are the major supermarkets still making the same levels of profits while food prices are going up for ordinary families?

Yes; it is a fundamental question. I will pass on to my colleagues; I have hogged the mic for long enough.

Does Evelyn Tweed want to come in on that?

Thank you very much for everything that you have told us today. It feeds into the health inequalities work that we are already undertaking.

That concludes the public part of our meeting today. We move into private session.

Thank you, Mr Luthra.

I will now hand over to Forbes Dunlop, who also has a statement.

I will stop you there. I am looking at your timetable in the action plan. One of the actions is to:

“Develop and implement a new disciplinary framework”

and you have a timetable for that to be in place by 30 April 2023. However, it also says that the recruitment of an independent disciplinary panel is on-going.

We will not know until it has happened.

Geoff—you want to come in.

That is helpful. It is grist to our mill.

Yes, but it must be a small question, because two other members want to come in before the end of the session.

Stephanie, do you have a question on the Good Food Nation (Scotland) Act 2022?
