Hotels: Competition
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, when he last met with the Competitions and Markets Authority to discuss fair competition in the hotel market.
Answered by Kate Dearden
There has been no specific meeting between Ministers and the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) to discuss competition in the hotel market. Responsibility for assessing competition in individual markets, including the hotel market, lies with the CMA, which operates independently of Government. The CMA keeps markets under review and can carry out market studies, investigations or enforcement action where it has concerns that competition is not working well for consumers. If you have evidence of a specific competition issue in the hotel market, I would encourage you to pass it to the CMA for consideration.
