The committee will raise issues 'about the adequacy of the BBC’s governance arrangements and how it is addressing these'.
BBC LEADERS ARE to be grilled in the UK Parliament about the “adequacy” of the corporation’s governance arrangements following the Huw Edwards furore.
The family of the young person had originally complained to the BBC in May and the corporation said it tried to contact them twice. The coverage of the story by the media has been criticised by prominent figures including former Downing Street press secretary Alastair Campbell, the BBC’s world affairs editor John Simpson and former BBC journalist Jon Sopel.Simpson wrote on Twitter: “No criminal offences were committed, so it’s a purely personal tragedy for everyone involved. Let’s hope the press leave them all alone now.”
BBC News had reported a second person claiming they felt threatened by messages they received from Edwards.
