Part 4: CMA: Referrals and functions Chapter 1: Functions on referrals of subsidies and schemes Section 56: Voluntary referral to CMA
This section enables public authorities to request a report from the CMA on a subsidy or scheme of interest (a ‘voluntary referral request’). The request must include the same information as is required in relation to a mandatory referral request. The Secretary of State may likewise make provision by regulations as to the content and form of the request.
