Question to the Department for Business and Trade:
To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure the Competition and Markets Authority develops potential conduct requirements in parallel with the Strategic Market Status investigation, to ensure remedies for anti-competitive licensing are implemented immediately upon any designation.
The Competition and Markets Authority is responsible for operating the digital markets regime, including when to implement any conduct requirements. The Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 does not prevent the CMA from designing remedies in parallel with Strategic Market Status investigations.
