Coronavirus Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Spellar (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 March 2020. It occurred during Debate on bills on Coronavirus Bill.

There is a lot of talk about income, but it is also about expenditure. I have had many complaints from constituents about prices rocketing, particularly for staples, but it is unclear whether that is the fault of the retailers, the cash-and-carry wholesalers or, indeed, the suppliers. The Competition and Markets Authority is looking into it, but I urge the Government to crack down urgently on profiteering from people’s difficulty.
