The CMA has responded to Ofcoms consultation Prohibiting inflation-linked price rises.

The CMA considers mid-contract price rises in the telecoms sector as principally a matter for Ofcom. The CMA has previously given thought to this issue in its capacity as an enforcer of consumer protection law.

The CMA welcomes the improvements Ofcoms proposals make to the current situation and encourages Ofcom to keep under consideration whether any further action is needed to protect consumers and promote competition.
