With that context, I hope the Minister will not want to be associated with the unintended consequences of bankruptcies, retail job losses, more violence in retail outlets and even more decimation of local high streets. As we reach the end of Committee, I put in a sensible plea that, in order to mitigate against that, the Government really pay attention to this section of the retail industry that has up until now been more or less ignored and sidelined.
