Booker Group: Tesco
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of the changes recently introduced by Booker on independent retailers.
- Answer
-
Investigations into mergers and anti-competitive practices are the responsibility of the Competition and Markets Authority, the UK’s independent competition regulator.
I note that the CMA conducted an in-depth investigation into Tesco’s acquisition of Booker in 2017 and concluded that it did not raise competition concerns.
