Beet Sugar: Competition
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps his Department is taking to prevent anti-competitive practices in the domestic beet sugar industry.
Answered by Justin Madders
The Competition and Markets Authority, the “CMA”, is responsible for investigating anti-competitive practices. As an independent authority, the CMA has discretion to investigate competition cases which, according to its prioritisation principles, it considers most appropriate.
Any concerns regarding anti-competitive conduct can be raised directly with the CMA. Details of how to submit information, along with general guidance, can be found on Gov.uk.
