Recommendation
We believe that the non-binding nature of the CMA’s role when advising on subsidies which are referred to its Subsidy Advice Unit will be sufficient in the majority of cases. The Government should ensure that the CMA has the resources necessary for the Subsidy Advice Unit to advise public authorities effectively, in a timely fashion and so as to avoid any misuse of subsidy funding.
