EFFECTS OF SUPERMARKET PROMOTIONS ON LOCAL NEWSAGENTS

Early day motion 1116, tabled 25 February 2014 by John Leech (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 26 members.

That this House notes with concern the impact that some supermarket promotions can have on newsagents and convenience stores; recognises that the recent Waitrose offer of a free newspaper with every purchase over £5 in store or on line is likely to have a detrimental impact on the traditional corner shop and newsagents; further recognises the important role that independent retailers play in local communities; and therefore urges people to support local independent newsagents and convenience stores.
