There have, understandably, been some predictably hostile reactions to the report but, on balance, it may have been worth sticking my head above the parapet. There is certainly a substantial difference of opinion among many - no unanimity here it seems. Certainly, there is some concern over the situation. Anti-competitive measures are not in anyone's interest particularly the consumer. I would have thought that an examination of the situation by the CMA would be welcomed. The law is there to ensure fair play and an even hand to all including the consumer.

The real issue is the EU directive and the governments obligation to provide a code of practice by the 21st May 2011 combined with the previous decisions in competition law.
EC regulation and the DIRECTIVE 2008/52/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 21 May 2008, article 5 and the General Insurance Standards Council and the Institute of Independent Insurance Brokers v Director General of Fair Trading (17.09.01 – unreported).

I may have misunderstood the situation legally speaking but I am sure the CMA will clarify.
