I have recently received the report and recommendations of the competition and mergers review group. The review group reported on merger and competition law and administration and made a wide range of recommendations in this area. The work of the group also covered the groceries order which provides for a ban on below-cost selling.
I will now consider the report and recommendations of the review group on all the matters referred to it before deciding what further action to take and I will publish it as soon as possible.
