Mr. Baker

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if she will assess the advantages of introducing legislation to limit the maximum share of the newspaper market individual proprietors may control. [31102]

[holding answer 24 February 1998]: The Government's Competition Bill sets out the legislation we believe is necessary to control abuses of market dominance. The newspaper industry will be subject to this, and to other provisions in competition law.
