Vince Cable lost the responsibility because of indications that he was against Sky-B; maybe he should have been more discreet, but it was his job to come to a decision, he did.

"Frédéric Michel told the inquiry on Thursday that by December 2010, just before Hunt was given quasi-judicial responsibility for the bid, the Conservative cabinet minister and his Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) were supportive of News Corp's argument that the BSkyB deal would not be detrimental to UK media plurality."
