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.
Government Response Summary
The CMA supports the provision of effective and accessible ombudsmen services, and looks forward to the improvements that will be delivered by the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumer Bill. The Chartered Trading Standards Institute leads on ombudsmen and codes of practice.
