The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, pursuant to the answer of 18 March 2026 to question 120645, whether an estimate has been made of the overall expected resource requirements of the Competition and Markets Authority’s Sustainability Taskforce over the Spending Review period.

Answered by Kate Dearden

The Competition and Markets Authority (“CMA”) has not made an estimate of the overall expected resource requirements of its Sustainability Taskforce over the Spending Review period.

In reference to the previous answer to question 120645, the CMA does not allocate specific multi-year funding to individual workstreams such as the Sustainability Taskforce, which remain subject to wider prioritisation decisions.
