Debate

Enterprise Act 2002 (Mergers Involving Newspaper Enterprises and Foreign Powers) Regulations 2025

Contribution

As ever, the noble Lord has made a good case. He made his point—as did the noble Lord, Lord Forsyth—around what a percentage stake might mean if the returns are not going to be great. What difference is there between 5% and 15% in respect of the argument he is making about influence? If someone wants to invest 5%, surely they are doing it on the same basis as 15%.
