	uin	HL5722
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/02/2016 answer text <p>The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) carried out a market study in 2001 on consumer IT goods and services, including the printer cartridge market. It noted that consumers may find it difficult to identify which printer manufacturer had the cheapest price overall - this included the upfront price of the printer and the price of cartridges over the life of the machine. The OFT worked with the industry to introduce a labelling scheme which allowed consumers to identify how many pages they could expect to print with a cartridge. This allows consumers to consider both the purchase price and the running costs of the printer.</p><p> </p><p>The Competition and Markets Authority took over the competition functions of the OFT in 2014.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe question first answered 12/02/2016 12:10:09 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe
