Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what is the current status of the sale of the Telegraph Media Group, whose current ownership remains subject to an interim enforcement order.

The Secretary of State takes her quasi-judicial responsibilities under the Enterprise Act 2002 and in respect of the sale of the Telegraph Media Group very seriously and she therefore cannot provide a running commentary on the sale. The Telegraph Media Group remains under The Public Interest Merger Reference (Telegraph Media Group Ltd) (Pre-emptive Action) Order 2024. She will keep Parliament updated on any decisions she takes relating to the transaction.
