Alliance - Boots : the new UK pharmacy giant

The UK Office of Fair Trading has decided not to refer the proposed merger of Boots and Alliance Unichem (Moss Chemists chain) to the country's competition commission, provided Boots fulfils an undertaking to divest around 100 retail pharmacies.

Insider understands that this was "no trouble" as they ahd a "hit list" for sell-off already.
