Amazon has today been fined by the UK’s competition regulator for late delivery of documents in an investigation into its purchase of a stake in food delivery service Deliveroo.

The Competition and Markets Authority fined Amazon £25,000 and £30,000 for failure to respond in time to two requests for information, which it said led to a delay in the investigation.
