正文(英文) | News story Government responds to the proposed acquisition of Mettis Aerospace by AerostarBusiness Secretary Andrea Leadsom responds to the proposed acquisition of Mettis Aerospace by Aerostar. The government has been made aware of the proposed acquisition of Mettis Aerospace by Aerostar, a fund established in China, either directly or through Ligeance Aerospace Technology, a company owned by Aerostar and incorporated in China. Under the Enterprise Act 2002, the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy has the power to intervene in certain mergers on public interest grounds relating to national security. This responsibility is discharged in a quasi-judicial capacity, which means that the Secretary of State must act, and be seen to act, in a fair and impartial manner. On 20 December 2019, acting on official advice, the Secretary of State issued a public interest intervention notice, confirming that she is intervening in the merger on national security grounds. In reaching this decision, she considered the representations received from the Secretary of State for Defence. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) will prepare a report on the jurisdictional, competition and national security aspects of the proposed transaction. The CMA has until midnight on 17 March 2020 to complete and submit this report to the Secretary of State. In addition, an Order was made pursuant to paragraph 2(2) of schedule 7 to the Enterprise Act 2002 to prevent Mettis Aerospace taking any actions that might raise national security concerns. The comprehensive Order prevents the completion of the transaction and the transfer of material or information between the parties. The Secretary of State can amend or allow exemptions to the Order and must act reasonably when considering any requests from Mettis Aerospace to do so. It was necessary to make and bring this Order into force before it could be laid before Parliament as to do otherwise would have given the parties the opportunity to take actions that might have undermined the purpose and effectiveness of the order. The Secretary of State has written to the Speaker of the House of Commons, the Lord Speaker and the Clerks of both Houses to inform them of her decision. The Order will be laid in Parliament shortly to ensure Parliamentary scrutiny can take place. Business Secretary Andrea Leadsom said:
For more information about the intervention powers, see the guidance on mergers and on CMA’s jurisdiction and procedure.
