Baroness Lloyd of Effra (Lab)
The UK has taken decisive action to strengthen competition and fairness in digital markets. In January 2025, Parliament equipped the CMA with new powers to boost competition and innovation in digital markets. In May, the Government issued a clear steer to the CMA to prioritise this work and align action with international jurisdictions, including the EU. The UK and CMA engage regularly with EU counterparts as both regimes begin operation to help maintain close alignment on emerging issues.
Viscount Colville of Culross (CB)
My Lords, the EU already has AI legislation. Do the Government intend to bring forward their own legislation on AI and how to regulate it?
Baroness Lloyd of Effra (Lab)
Our approach is to have regulators who are sector-specific and have the expertise to look at how AI is affecting the companies they regulate and its impact.
