Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how many abuses of a dominant market position by the three multinational firms that comprise 90 per cent of the UK domestic off grid LPG market have been investigated; and what the outcome was of those investigations.

Investigations of a potential abuse of a dominant market position are a matter for the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). These are undertaken independently of Ministers. The CMA does not comment on potential investigations. According to the CMA’s public records, it has not opened an abuse of dominance case in this sector.
