In a formal announcement to the Stock Exchange, the OFT declared it had decided not to refer the merger to the Competition Commission. (11/09/2003)

DMG Information, the business to business information division of DMGT, has reached agreement to acquire Sitescope Limited, the online property search business based in Bromley, Kent.
