Hilton Group/British Sky Broadcasting Group plc
Current situation
BSkyB and Hilton announced on 16 October 2001 that they
had decided to discontinue negotiations relating to their proposed joint
venture to offer a betting service on Sky Sports channels and other media.
Subject to receiving the necessary confirmation from the companies, therefore,
the Commission will seek the Secretary of State’s consent to lay
the reference aside. There is currently no need for anyone to submit evidence
for this inquiry.
