When Accelerating Hard Loss Of Power For A Fraction Of A Second

When driving home on the motorway today there appeared to be a problem with the cruise control. If it was set to 70 and I slowed to 60 and 'resumed' it it would start to accelerate then the cruise control would cut off and it would could go back to manual mode.

I thought it was an issue with the cruise control but when I slowed to 60 and accelerated quite hard the revs would go up and after a second there was a loss of power for a fraction of a second. Acceleration after that seems normal but this is what was causing the cruise control to switch off.

I just wondered if anyone else has experienced this and/or if it's a warning sign for something that needs looking into?

TIA
