Inquiry

In February 2019, Lord Tyrie wrote to Secretary of State outlining such proposals, in both a letter and a summary.

The BEIS Committee will examine issues around the CMA’s competition and consumer protection regimes and follow-up on the remedies proposed by the CMA and BEIS Committee inquiries into the audit market.
