Update to timetable

26 July 2024: The CMA has updated its administrative timetable. Given the timing of the general election and the central role of government policy and regulation in this market, the CMA plans to publish an interim report on the market study in the autumn, and invite views on this. This will help to ensure that the CMA can effectively engage with the UK, Northern Ireland, Scottish and Welsh governments and provides parties the opportunity to submit views on the CMAs emerging thinking.
