I’m in the “one the one hand, but on the other” camp on this (whether @CMAgovUK should be the new U.K. subsidy control authority). @AlexanderPHRose and @jamesrwebber have a good point but...

1 The CMA has an established reputation and credit with the EU and other trading partners. 2 It has a role under the U.K. Internal Market Act that means dealing with the devolved governments - and that complements a subsidy control role that will also deeply concern those govts.

3 No one really knows what resources this role will need: if it’s the CMA, it can move people in and out depending on work load.

But, as I said, I see pluses and minuses.
