LONDON, May 15 (Reuters) - Britain's CMA competition watchdog said it was stepping up its work looking at the grocery sector, but had so far not seen evidence pointing to specific competition concerns. "Given ongoing concerns about high prices, we are announcing the stepping up of our work in the grocery sector to understand whether any failure in competition is contributing to grocery prices being higher than they would be in a well-functioning market," the Competition and Markets Authority said in a statement on Monday.
