CBAM sits with the Treasury.

Is there anything you can do to protect the farmers in these circumstances?

Do you think you have enough teeth to go up against an organisation such as Amazon?

Is there no role for you in these circumstances?

Jo, you set out all the asks that you have made of DEFRA. You said you speak to DEFRA twice a week. In the context of the domestic production of fertiliser, or lack thereof, being pretty much wholly dependent on the cost of energy and particularly the cost of gas in comparison with our friends and partners in the Unite

Mr White, you have mentioned your survey a couple of times, both to Mr Dewhirst and to the Chair. Your annual survey was released last week, is that right?

That sounds a little like an apologist or a PR machine for the supermarkets; rather than saying, “This is unacceptable, this is what you need to do for compliance,” it is, “We appreciate that you have some issues with your back office and with your systems and this is the reason; we understand that and that is okay.” I

21 Apr 2026Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 589)

When you look at the surveys and you see those discrepancies, why do you think the new entrants have a bigger issue in respect of compliance versus those that are a bit more long-standing?

Do you think you have enough teeth? You have told the Chair you have nine staff and—what was it—£3.5 million?

You warned Amazon, but then why did it take you 12 months from that warning to launch the investigation?

19
21 Apr 2026Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 589)

The majority are at over 90% and Morrisons is 89%, but that is quite a big discrepancy as an outlier. I know you have launched the investigation, but in terms of being more active and rigorous in trying to enforce and make Amazon adhere to your code, does it not give you cause for concern?

55
21 Apr 2026Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 589)

In terms of looking into what the practice actually is in its business model and the mechanisms by which Amazon is acting in the marketplace to cause the suppliers concern, it seems that the collaboration approach that you have taken is perhaps not forceful enough in getting change, in holding Amazon to account and all

71
21 Apr 2026Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 589)

If you go into some of the details about the business model that Amazon is operating and you think, for example, of the lack of access to the resources to discuss, mitigate or resolve issues that suppliers are having, or you think about their short and strict delivery requirements, that is a very unique type of busines

21 Apr 2026Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 589)

In 2024 you had less than half of Amazon suppliers reporting they believed the retailer to adhere to the supply code of practice, so that is stretching flexibility, it seems.

The Chair touched on the High Court issue in respect of Aldi. In the High Court case, Aldi spent significant time and money to stop you intervening. What do you think that says about the supermarkets’ view of you as the adjudicator?

Amazon for example, has consistently performed poorly in your surveys and shown little improvement. Have you launched an investigation?
