This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Petition Refer Pfizer's takeover of AstraZenecea to the Competition and Markets Authority for clearance.
More details
Pfizer's takeover of AstraZeneca would be destructive of competition, lead to further abuse of the NHS and of public health, as well as damaging the national interest in terms of high quality jobs, research and science. The Competition and Markets Authority was set up by this government with the prime duty "to promote competition, both within and outside the UK, for the benefit of consumers." Referring the deal to the CMA should be the very first step for the government to take.
