On the basis of the information available to it, the Office of Fair Trading has decided that the merger of City College Manchester and Manchester College of Arts and Technology does not qualify for investigation under the mergers provisions of the Enterprise Act (the Act), because neither the UK turnover test nor the share of supply test in section 23 of the Act is met. A relevant merger situation has, therefore, not been created.
