Sainsbury's results to reignite 'profiteering' debate on Tuesday

When J Sainsbury PLC (LSE:SBRY) updates the market on Tuesday it will continue to do so in the eye of the storm around alleged profiteering and sky-high food inflation.

Amid worries about the fate of Thames Water and calls for re-nationalisation, several water industry chiefs will be facing a parliamentary grilling on Tuesday.

The House of Lords Industry and Regulators committee will continue its follow-up inquiry on the industry, taking evidence from the chief exec and chair of regulator Ofwat, from 4pm, following evidence executive from United Utilities and Wessex Water on potential solutions to reduce water pollution.
