Asked if the Prime Minister was pleased that Rupert Murdoch had been given the go ahead for the takeover, the PMS said the Culture Secretary had set out his decision and the Prime Minister had no role in that process; he was not aware of the Culture Secretary’s decision before it was made and announced.
Asked if he knew when the Prime Minister had last spoken to Rupert Murdoch, the PMS replied that he did not know.
When asked if the Prime Minister thought Rupert Murdoch paid his fair share of tax in this country, the PMS said that we did not discuss the affairs of individual taxpayers. The PMS added that this was clearly a matter for Jeremy Hunt and he would be setting out in a statement to the House, the reasons for his decision.
