Monopolies

In the past, Monopoly investigations and reports were carried out under the Fair Trading Act 1973. Now that the Enterprise Act 2002 is in place, responsibility for enforcing undertakings and orders, and the power to release, vary or supersede undertakings or orders, will be transferred from the Secretary of State to the Competition Commission.

Our monopolies pages carry information of current issues and cases, undertakings and orders and revocations.
