Proceeding contribution from Lord Strathclyde (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 13 July 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Phone Hacking.
Phone Hacking
My Lords, the issue of the police and their role in this and previous investigations is rightly a matter for the inquiry. On the question of a fit and proper person, that was never going to be triggered by the proposed merger because Ofcom has an ongoing statutory duty to ensure that holders of broadcasting licences are and remain fit and proper persons. It is a matter for Ofcom, which is taking its responsibility in this area most seriously and is already in touch with the relevant authorities.
