Question
The Minister has said that Ofcom will reach its conclusions early in the new year. If Ofcom deems that there has been a change of control, what is he going to do about it?
Answer

As the hon. Gentleman knows, in relation to these issues and in relation to the Communications Act 2003 and the Enterprise Act 2002, this matter would ultimately be in the hands of the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, but at this stage we must decide whether or not there is an issue to be investigated, and the hon. Gentleman will have an answer to that early in the new year.
