Details

The CMA is an independent non-ministerial government department and is the UK’s principal competition and consumer authority. The CMA’s general duty is to seek to promote competition for the benefit of consumers within and outside the UK. Its aim is to make markets work well for consumers, businesses and the economy.

BEIS is the CMA’s ministerial sponsor government department, and it sets the wider framework for competition and consumer policy to deliver the government’s objectives.

This framework document has been agreed between BEIS and the CMA. It sets out the broad governance framework within which relations between the CMA and BEIS, and between the CMA and HM Treasury (HMT) will operate.
