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

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they intend to ask the Competition and Markets Authority to investigate whether the procurement processes described in Dame Margaret Hodge's review of the proposed London Garden Bridge, published on 7 April, comply with best practice for government-funded projects.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) makes independent decisions on what to investigate. If there is information suggesting that anti-competitive collusion or abuse of dominant position might have occurred, it can be shared with the CMA. The CMA will consider whether there are matters that should be investigated under its enforcement powers.
