Telegraph Newspapers

Contribution

My Lords, I declare an interest as an employee of the Telegraph Media Group. I am grateful for what the Minister says about the sense of urgency, but it has not been apparent so far, and this has gone on for a long time. Newspapers live by deadlines, not such a familiar phenomenon in the quasi-judicial capacity, and we really do need the deadline to be met. This affects the newspaper most importantly, but does the Minister agree that it also makes it quite difficult for potential buyers and the seller, because they do not understand the terms on which they are doing it? The delay is fundamental to the whole problem.
