The Government has confirmed that supermarkets could be fined millions of pounds by the Groceries Code Adjudicator, if they're found to have treated suppliers unfairly. The measure will be put through Parliament in the next few weeks.

Chairman of the troubled dairy processor First Milk, Sir Jim Paice, tells Charlotte Smith that he's confident the farmer-owned business has a future.

Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Sarah Swadling.
