The Lead Contractors Association (LCA), an independent body that represents companies who are involved with the installation of lead sheet in roofing, has responded to the Competition & Markets Authority’s (CMA) ongoing investigation about two UK suppliers of rolled lead admitting to taking part in anti-competitive practices.
A spokesperson from the LCA said: “As you would expect, the Lead Contractors Association and our members have been following the events of this investigation with interest.
“Whilst we understand investigations are still ongoing and it appears a compromise has been reached, it is felt however, that the monies levied in fines should be transferred from the government back into the lead industry for the benefit of the industry and its consumers. We welcome a discussion with the CMA on the best route forward.”
