Amazon's low prices have brought itself unfavorable attention.
I'm not going to worry about it too much. I'm pretty sure that "agency" pricing would be illegal under the UK's competition laws, just as the Net Book Agreement (the former industry cartel which fixed book prices) was ruled to be illegal some years ago. British consumer law looks very unfavourably upon any form of price fixing.
