Motion Text

That this House notes with concern that the takeover bids for Safeways, currently being reported, potentially put at risk 1300 jobs at Safeways' headquarters in West London; and calls upon the Government to be prepared to intervene in the takeover process to protect the public interest, for both employees and consumers.
