My view is that the Competition Consumer Protection Commission is the independent body and is the ideal one to do it. It has the expertise. It is regularly dealing with market interaction of this nature, the balance of powers in a competitive market, the interest of consumers and so on. It is the best agency to deal with it. Colleagues from across the corridor might say it is another quango but we have a body that has the expertise. Why would we set up another body?
