00:00It's really important that supermarkets do pass on these reductions in costs to their customers

00:05because many people are struggling with the cost of living. We've reduced tariffs on around 100

00:10of food products that are sold in our supermarkets. But in addition to that, we've reduced the duty

00:16on HGV lorries and that will have a direct impact as well on our supermarkets. So I say to the

00:23supermarkets, it is important that they are responsive to their customers and that the changes

00:28that this government have made today are filtering through down to the customer.
