On another demographic, I recently met the publisher of a newspaper aimed at Asian traders, many of which are small convenience stores or newsagents. I was told that one of their trade associations was telling the Government that they were happy with the Bill, but that as shopkeepers they had not been consulted. I also note that one of the campaign groups in favour of the Bill tells us that they have spoken to retailers who are happy. Once again, the Asian retail trade paper tells me that the organisation in question has not spoken to its readership. We are asking to be quite clear about the level of consultation to make sure that we get the widest possible range of views.
