Writing in The Spectator, IEA Head of Lifestyle Economics, Christopher Snowdon, has criticised the Competition and Markets Authority’s hostile attitude to rising supermarket fuel prices.
Christopher wrote:
“The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) doesn’t think the supermarkets are a cartel either, nor do they suspect overt collusion. But they do think there is something fishy about their petrol and diesel prices.
“Once again, the government is getting dangerously close to entertaining the idea of price controls.”
