On 27 April 1999 British Aerospace plc (now known as BAE Systems plc) agreed with The General Electric Company, plc (GEC) the proposed merger of GEC's defence electronics business, Marconi Electronic Systems, with BAE Systems. The military aspects of the merger were subsequently considered by Her Majesty's Government under UK merger control law. To remedy or prevent possible adverse effects of the merger, the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry requested the Director General of Fair Trading to seek Undertakings from BAE Systems concerning the conduct of business by the new commercial entity.

In order to meet this remit, Undertakings were given by BAE Systems which were accepted by the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry.
