I done this at college. lol.
The reason being is say for instance if tesco bought asda sainsburys, and all the big name supoermarkets they could set the price for anything they wanted and charge extortiante prices for products, and we would have to pay them because we wont be able to get them anywhere else. The monopolies and mergers commision are there to stop this, and to protect the customer from being ripped off by one company being a market leader.
I think thats the reason, it was a while ago since i done it
1. to stop a price fixing agenda.
2. protect the customer and give them more options on where to go
3. To add more competition to the market as a whole
