Original consultation
Consultation description
The Groceries Code Adjudicator (GCA) enforces the Groceries Code. It applies to the 10 largest UK supermarkets and their direct suppliers.
We’re seeking your views on whether to extend the remit of the GCA to cover other suppliers and give similar levels of protection.
