The UK government will not be handling the TMG sale process, it has given RedBird IMI the greenlight to do so. However, the sale will be subject to the usual regulatory process - i.e. there's potential scrutiny by the Secretary of State, Ofcom and other oversight.
RedBird IMI may sell The Telegraph and other TMG titles like The Spectator together or separately, depending on the offers received and what it would mean for the staff concerned.
