Now Sinn Féin's finance spokesperson, Piers Doherty, has said his party wants to see a grocery price caps commission set up.

The aim would be to look at potentially setting maximum prices for basic groceries in your shop.

But is it a feasible idea?

Well, Alex Cleland is with me, owner of Cleland Supermarkets in Leash.

Good morning to you, Alex.

I'm very well.

This is on the agenda because they're talking about it in the UK.

There is support from Scotland for something like this because prices have increased so much over the last five years.

What do you think?

You mentioned there, and you've just done it again, you're blaming government for the price increases we've seen over the last five years.

But is this not due to what we've seen happen in Ukraine and now in the Middle East?

Like, where's the government responsibility there?

Okay, well, I can see, look, I can accept that you would hold that view about public, but how does that affect the price of milk in your supermarket?

So talk me through where your costs have increased.

What's your experience, particularly over the last couple of years?

That's a good thing for the people who work for you, surely.

I'm listening to you and I'm hearing you talking about businesses being on their knees.

Is your business on its knees?

Charlie Weston in The Independent last week did a price comparison over a five-year period.

Things like beef, diced beef up by 48%.
