For the purpose of assisting a CMA group in carrying out a relevant investigation, the FCA must give the CMA group—
any relevant information which the FCA has in its possession, and
any other assistance which the CMA group may reasonably require in relation to any matters falling within the scope of the investigation.
A "relevant investigation" is an investigation carried out on a reference made by the FCA under section 131 of the Enterprise Act 2002 by virtue of section 234I.
"Relevant information", in relation to a relevant investigation, is information—
which relates to matters falling within the scope of the investigation, and
which—
is requested by the CMA group for the purpose of the investigation, or
in the FCA's opinion, it would be appropriate to give to the CMA group for that purpose.
A CMA group, in carrying out a relevant investigation, must take into account any information given to it under this section.
In this section "CMA group" has the same meaning as in Schedule 4 to the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013.
