Mr. Fisher

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster on what occasions during the past 12 months the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry has met Mr. Rupert Murdoch.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

My right hon. and noble Friend has met the proprietors of all the major newspaper publishing companies during the last 12 months. He last met Mr. Murdoch on 21 May 1987 at Wapping, when he was Secretary of State for Employment. This was their only meeting during the period.
