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

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will conduct a review of the extent to which funeral directors enter into arrangements that restrict consumer choice and are anti-competitive, with a view to appropriate controls being introduced.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is the independent non-Ministerial department responsible for investigating competition issues in the UK. It is currently conducting a market study to review the effectiveness of competition for consumers in the funerals market.
