Labour MP Angela Smith asks about online grocery shopping and whether a rise in buying goods online might reduce domestic food waste because people "don't have the shelves in front of them". 

Ms Smith says currently one in ten people do all their grocery shopping online, and this figure is rising.

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall says overfilled supermarkets have become an "enormous problem" all around the country and that he hopes a rise in online shopping will shift their culture of "constant shelf-stocking".

Mr Dunne tells the House that the government has managed to reduce winter fuel payments to those living in the European Economic Area by 70%.

Founder of environmental organisation Feedback, Tristram Stuart, tells the committee that "nobody has ever looked into the bins of supermarkets" in a transparent manner.  

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall adds that the food waste culture is "dictated by supermarkets", and that retailers "actively encourage consumers to buy more food than they need" through advertising and two-for-one offers.

Both campaigners note that supermarkets have a large role to play in the level of food waste in the country.

After this, Conservative MP Maria Caulfield will introduce a ten minute rule motion on defibrillator availability.

MPs will then consider the so-called Leveson amendment to the Investigatory Powers Bill proposed by the House of Lords.

When the High Court recently ruled that Parliament should have a say on the triggering of Article 50, three of its judges were described as "enemies of the people" by a major UK newspaper.

That case will move next month to the Supreme Court. One of its judges, Lord Kerr, says that all decisions made by the court are based solely on the law and the justices are "extremely conscious" of setting aside personal views.

Stephen Gethins MP, the SNP’s Europe spokesperson, commented:

“It has become pristinely evident that when the UK government said they would not offer a running commentary it is because they have nothing to comment on, and almost five months on, they have no plan."

MPs will also hear from the founder of environmental organisation Feedback, Tristram Stuart.
