在法令审议阶段，关于营业额测试曾引起激励的争论。在法令送到贵族院三读时，当时规定的营业额标准是4500万英镑。政府认为，4500万英镑与1973年公平贸易法规定的资产测试所规定的7000万英镑大体相当。贵族院将标准提高到1亿英镑，他们认为，既然营业额通常被认为应超过总资产，那么新的营业额测试标准的数额应超过旧的资产测试7000万英镑的数额。他们还批评政府没有考虑通货膨胀的因素，旧的7000万英镑与现在的8500万英镑相当，应该以该数字为基准来确定营业额测试。按照OFT的估计，英国有7000家公司的营业额达到4500万英镑，如果将数字提高到1亿英镑，那么公司的数量会减少一半，这将使原来符合1973年法令资产测试标准的很多公司可以自由进行合并。平民院接受贵族院的修改建议，但不同意将数字提高到1亿，而选择7000万英镑。他们认为，1亿英镑的门槛将会产生严重的后果，将会导致反竞争的合并在没有竞争当局任何形式的审查下自由进行。经过妥协，最后法令确定的营业额测试标准为7000万英镑。See Tim Frazer, Enterprise Act 2002,The Law Society, 2003, PP65－66.
