Who’s Protecting Consumers? | MPs Confront Watchdog Over Soaring Prices

Описание: 🧐 Food. Flights. Fun. Why is everything getting more expensive—and what is the UK’s top watchdog doing about it?

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is supposed to be the consumer’s champion. But as prices continue to rise, MPs demand answers on whether the regulator is doing enough to protect the public from unfair practices.

📈 We ask:
• Why have grocery and airline prices surged so dramatically?
• Are dominant firms getting away with too much?
• Is the CMA too slow—or too soft?

This session pulls no punches. Watch the Business and Trade Committee hold the CMA to account.
