Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 December 2025
Debate
Enterprise Act 2002 (Mergers Involving Newspaper Enterprises and Foreign Powers) (No. 2) Regulations 2025Contribution
The noble Baroness, Lady Stowell, also raised the treatment of debt in relation to press reporting of recent weeks, with a so-called poison pill of debt reportedly being transferred to the Telegraph, and how the law applies in such a context. I am sure she will understand that I cannot go into detail on this commercially sensitive live case. The parties have given public assurances, however, that this is not how the deal has been structured and I am not privy to information about this which is not in the public domain. I hope that my answer has given the noble Baroness reassurance on these points.
