U.K. Government States It Is Unlikely to Require Comcast’s Bid for Sky to Undergo Extended Review
On May 21, Matt Hancock, the United Kingdom Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, wrote a ministerial statement regarding Comcast’s offer to buy Sky: “I am minded not to issue (a European Intervention Notice) on the basis that the proposed merger does not raise concerns in relation to public interest considerations," he said. This means that Comcast’s offer will likely not need to go through the lengthy government review that 21st Century Fox’s offer has been going through.
