Sunak promises to review CMA's review of petrol market

During PMQs in the Commons today, Chris Loder, Conservative MP for West Dorset, said supermarkets such as Morrisons were abusing their dominant market position on fuel, charging up to 20p per litre more in Bridport than in other towns in the region, thus preventing West Dorset residents from benefitting from the very unusual reduction in market prices." He called for action against "commercial preditors."

Rishi Sunak replied that as Chancellor he cut duty by 5p a litre, but he "recognised the concerns" raised which is why the government had asked the Competition and Markets Authority to conduct an urgent review of the market. There were some actions to be considered coming out of that review.
