Mr. Michael Cocks

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, pursuant to the answer of 15 July to the right hon. Member for Bristol, South, what criteria are used to decide what are the relevant factors in considering reports of the Monopolies and Mergers Commission.

There are no rigid criteria. Careful consideration is given in each case to assessing which factors are relevant.
