Hi
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I agree that regular funding for the CMA would be a major benefit.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I assume the CMA has to remain impartial of Ofcom / DCMS etc. If they were taking an important part of their funding from the latter, this could call into question any such impartiality.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm not questioning their ability to actually be impartial, but how it could open them up to such criticism. However, despite this I would probably vote for such an idea personally.</div>
