Lord Fox (LD)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 March 2025

Debate

Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 (Consequential Amendments) Regulations 2025

Contribution

Lest you forget, my Lords. The rest of the Minister’s response to the question from the noble Baroness, Lady Stowell, was: “Ministers recognise the high importance of foreign states not being allowed to influence the policy of UK newspapers, but there should be a balance to encourage investment into the press sector. Therefore, we are carefully considering a response to the consultation. We hope to publish a response very soon and lay the SI shortly after that”.—[Official Report, 5/3/25; col. 251.] We need to be reassured that this will not see a watering down of the intentions of the original Act.
