Proceeding contribution from Lord Elton (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 3 March 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on News Corporation/BSkyB Merger.
News Corporation/BSkyB Merger
My Lords, I have a brief question to ask my noble friend. As I understand it, the situation is that the shareholding is limited to 39.1 per cent at the point of entry into this system, but we hear that the Secretary of State will have to give permission if further shares are to be brought in. Can my noble friend tell us on what grounds that permission would be given, because that is a very important factor?
