Letter from Sarah Cardell to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero

19 July 2023: The CMA has written to the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero following our recommendation to government to develop a statutory fuel finder scheme.

Final report

3 July 2023: The CMA has published the final report on its road fuel market study, setting out its findings and its recommendations in response to those findings.

Penalty notices

3 July 2023: The CMA has published two notices (served 20 June 2023) imposing penalties on Asda Group Limited (Asda) under section 174A of the Enterprise Act 2002 (the Act). The CMA imposed the penalties for failures to comply, without reasonable excuse, with the requirements imposed on Asda for notices issued by the CMA under section 174 of the Act.

Responses to the initial update report

3 July 2023: The CMA has published responses to its 6 December 2022 initial update report.

Update

29 June 2023: The CMA intends to publish its final road fuel market study report on Monday 3 July. The final report will be available on this case page once published.

15 May 2023: The CMA has published an update on the road fuels market study, as part of a wider update on the action it is taking to help contain cost of living pressures.

Initial update report

6 December 2022: The CMA has published its initial update report on its road fuel market study. It invites responses on this by 6 January 2023.

Decision not to make a reference

6 December 2022: The CMA has decided not to make a market investigation reference. This should not in any way be interpreted as the CMA finding no concerns in the sector, only that based on our current state of knowledge any potential concerns identified to date would not be best addressed through a market investigation at this time.

Responses to Invitation to Comment

6 December 2022: The CMA has published responses to its Invitation to Comment on its road fuel market study.
