Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, with reference to the Government response to the consultation entitled A new pro-competition regime for digital markets, published on 6 May 2022, when she plans to bring forward legislative proposals on powers for the (a) Digital Markets Unit and (b) new regulatory regime.
The new pro-competition regime will remove the obstacles to competition and drive growth in digital markets, delivering lower prices for UK families, and giving consumers more choice and control over the services they use online.
The Draft Digital Markets, Competition and Consumer Bill was announced as part of the Queen's Speech 2022 and will be published as soon as parliamentary time allows. Arrangements for pre-legislative scrutiny will be decided in due course.
