Consultation on Ofcom guidance for the public interest test for media mergers: published responses

This document sets out Ofcom's draft guidance on the public interest test to be applied to media mergers in the event of a request for further investigation from the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry.

The draft guidance is being put forward for consultation prior to implementation. It follows the recent publication of draft guidance from the department of Trade and Industry (DTI) on its own process for intervening in a proposed merger, including the advisory role played by Ofcom in that process.
