HC Deb 06 July 2000 vol 353 c248W
Mr. Wyatt

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will refer the operation of Commuter coach services from Kent to London to the Competition Commission. [129311]

Dr. Howells

Under UK competition law in the first instance, it is the responsibility of the Director General of Fair Trading (DGFT) to investigate allegations of anti-competitive behaviour and possible abuses of a dominant position.

If my hon. Friend has any evidence that competition in this market is not working, he should draw it to the attention of the DGFT.
