To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what discussions she has had with (a) the Guardian Media Group and (b) Tortoise Media on the proposed buyout of the Observer newspaper.
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what discussions she has had with (a) the Guardian Media Group and (b) Tortoise Media on the proposed buyout of the Observer newspaper.
It would be inappropriate to comment on any live merger case. As is clear under the Enterprise Act, this is a quasi-judicial process for the DCMS Secretary of State alone to exercise the statutory powers based on the evidence and following the established regulatory process. If there are any updates to report, Parliament will be informed in the usual way.
That this House expresses serious concerns about the speed of the process and the substantive issues at stake in relation to the proposed sale of the Observer newspaper to Tortoise Media; considers that The Observer, first published in 1791, is a historical national institution known as a source of quality journalism which must be protected for future generations; believes that the deal appears to be being rushed through, without due consideration of alternatives; regrets that the Guardian Media Group and the Scott Trust have not engaged in meaningful consultation with journalistic and editorial staff; condemns the decision to announce in principle support for the sale during the first industrial action taken by members of the National Union of Journalists at the Guardian/Observer for over fifty years called in response to concerns at the deal; believes that the disappearance of Observer content behind an online paywall would be detrimental to the public interest by restricting access to accurate news and a plurality of opinions; and therefore calls on Government to issue a Public Interest Intervention Notice, to allow for further regulatory consideration of the sale’s likely impact.

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether she has had discussions with Cabinet Colleagues on the proposed sale of the Observer.
The Secretary of State for Culture Media and Sport has not had any discussions with Cabinet Colleagues on the proposed sale of the Observer. Consideration of media mergers is a quasi-judicial decision for the DCMS Secretary of State to undertake alone, on the basis of the evidence available to her, without reference to presentational or political considerations.

The Electoral Commission have determined that electoral rules have been broken and Vote Leave and BeLeave have been fined and referred to the police. It would not be appropriate for the Government to comment on ongoing police investigations.
The Government published a White Paper on the Future Relationship and talks with the EU are now accelerating and intensifying. We remain confident of reaching agreement on the Withdrawal Agreement and Future Framework by October. We are not going to provide a running commentary on these negotiations.

That this House is appalled by the Hugh Barnes article in The Observer Magazine on 7th November which described Waterfoot, in the constituency of Rossendale and Darwen, as 'a ramshackle town of wholly contemporary squalor', the much-loved Railway public house as 'out of date and drab' and referred to the 'easily identifiable banality of the Edgeside estate'; considers the article to be an insult to the people of Waterfoot, the patrons of the Railway public house, the residents of the Edgeside estate and the honourable Member for Rossendale and Darwen and the Rossendale Union of Boot, Shoe and Slipper Operatives, whose offices are situated in Waterfoot, not to mention the relatives and friends of Reg Woof, on whose tragic murder the article was based; confirms that should Mr Barnes ever seek to visit Waterfoot again, he will be singularly unwelcome; and calls upon the Editor of The Observer to publicly disassociate himself from Mr Barnes' remarks forthwith.

That this House recognises the importance of The Observer continuing as a separate newspaper and would be opposed to it being sold to a newspaper group which already has a Sunday paper; and therefore believes the best course available in the public interest and to provide a diversity of views within the Press is for the paper to be sold to The Guardian, which does not currently have a Sunday paper.

That this House deplores the disgraceful and disloyal conduct of Mr Donald Trelford, Editor of The Observer, in failing to help his freelance contributor, the Middle East specialist, Dr Alan George, to defend a libel action launched by Crescent Petroleum, a company which until the invasion of Kuwait had intimate links with Saddam Hussein's regime; and congratulates Dr George for his successful application to the High Court on 25th February that the action be struck out on the grounds that the words complained of were incapable of bearing the meanings alleged.
