As you may be aware, Sky has stated that it received an approach from 21st Century Fox to acquire the 61 per cent share of Sky that it does not yet own.

The Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, the Rt Hon Karen Bradley MP, has powers to intervene in certain media mergers on public interest grounds, and these powers derive from legislation which also include Government guidance on the operation of these public interest merger provisions.  Any transaction will be looked at on its merits, on a case-by-case basis.  The guidance makes it clear that the Secretary of State will aim to take an initial decision on whether to intervene within ten working days of the notification of the merger to the competition authorities, or of the transaction being brought to her attention.  Ministers have stated that no such formal notification has yet been received.

While I understand your concerns, the role of the Secretary of State is a quasi-judicial one, and it is important that she acts independently and is not subject to improper influence.
