Consultation on the CMAs provisional decision on the review of the undertakings given by Wm Morrison Supermarkets Limited: closed 9 October 2023

25 September 2023: We are consulting on the CMAs provisional decision on the review of the undertakings given by Morrisons insofar as they relate to the divestiture of 36 High Street, Pewsey, and the proposed undertakings.

Decision to undertake review

20 July 2023: The CMA has decided to review the undertakings in lieu of a reference offered in relation to the completed acquisition of McColls by Morrisons. The review will consider whether there has been any change of circumstances such that the current undertakings are no longer appropriate and should be varied or superseded. The review will consider Morrisons variation request and submission that there has been a material change in circumstances in relation to the Divestment Site at 36 High Street, Pewsey, SN9 5AQ.
