Motion made, and Question put forthwith (Standing Order No. 119(11)),

EU Merger Control

That this House takes note of European Union Document No. 11976/14, a Commission White Paper: Towards more effective EU merger control, and Addenda 1 to 3; and supports the Government’s approach of questioning the proposal to widen scope of the EU Merger Regime (EUMR) to include acquisitions of non-controlling minority shareholdings, given that the evidence does not suggest it is justified.—(George Hollingbery.)

Question agreed to.
