24th Jun 2025
To ask His Majesty's Government why the Competition and Markets Authority has not yet announced the third investigation regarding the designation of strategic market status of digital activity, as announced on 7 January; and when they plan to do so.

On 24 June the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) announced that it anticipates considering further Strategic Market Status investigations in early 2026. As the UK’s independent competition authority, the CMA operates the digital markets regime independently from the Government and decides whether to launch Strategic Market Status investigations. The CMA’s independence maintains trust, upholds impartial decision making and is a strength of the UK’s regulatory and business environment.
