answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2018 answer text <p>Responsibility for addressing competition and consumer protection issues within markets lies with the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). The CMA’s predecessor, the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) carried out a market study in 2001 on consumer IT goods and services, including the printer and cartridge market. Its main finding on this market was that consumers found it difficult to identify lifetime cost of ownership. The OFT worked with the industry to introduce a labelling scheme to help consumers to consider both purchase price and running costs.</p> answering member printed Lord Henley question first answered 05/11/2018 16:46:57 answering member 2616 label Biography information for Lord Henley
