We would like stakeholders’ views on (i) the issues set out in the terms of reference and (ii) whether we should make a market investigation reference to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) about one or more of these markets.

Please send your views with supporting evidence to [email protected] by 30 March 2023.

Next steps

We will make a provisional decision on whether to make a market investigation reference to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) about one or more of the markets, or parts of them, covered by this market study by 1 September 2023.

We will publish our market study report by 1 March 2024.
