Proceeding contribution from Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 13 July 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Phone Hacking.
Phone Hacking
The ““fit and proper”” test is a matter for Ofcom; it has to carry that out. It is right in this country that we do not ask individual politicians to make those individual decisions about who is fit and proper. We have also asked the Competition Commission to look at this issue. There is a separate issue, too: we need to allow Ofcom to make a ““fit and proper”” test at the point of full acquisition. That is a particular detail that we need to look at for the future.
