The Competition Commission wants to make the Office of Fair Trading a statutory consultee on supermarket schemes - which is a splendid way to make regeneration even more difficult. I have been endeavouring to keep up with the various pronouncements from the Competition Commission on the food retail sector. I've kept a particular eye on what effect this will have on urban regeneration projects. I have to say I'm finding it all a bit opaque - actually this is something of an understatement, in truth I'm beginning to suspect that the Commission is chaired by Franz Kafka. I don't think it's just me.
