June 30 (Reuters) - Britain's competition regulator said on Monday it has begun a Phase 1 investigation into planemaker Boeing's BA.N deal to acquire Spirit Aerosystems SPR.N and set a deadline of August 28 for a decision. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) had said last week that it was weighing a probe into whether the deal could affect competition in the country or in other markets.
