Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to enforce the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 to prevent anti-competitive practices by major digital platforms.

As the UK’s independent competition authority, the Competition and Markets Authority is responsible for enforcing competition law. Government has ensured that the CMA has significant powers to investigate and take appropriate action if it finds that businesses are behaving anti-competitively. This includes bespoke powers to address the practices of large technology firms that have substantial and entrenched market power.
