I think most people in this country think it's not desirable to give it even more power and even more dominance. And that's the lesson of what's happened in the last couple of years." Broadcasting regulator Ofcom said in a statement: "It is clearly not for Ofcom to investigate matters which properly lie in the hands of the police and the courts. However we are closely monitoring the situation and in particular the investigations by the relevant authorities into the alleged unlawful activities. In the light of the current public debate about phone hacking and other allegations, Ofcom confirms that it has a duty to be satisfied on an ongoing basis that the holder of a broadcasting licence is fit and proper." The Conservative Government has always insisted the phone hacking allegations cannot be used as justification to block the takeover.
