The position of the BBC chair is untenable, opposition parties have said, after a damning report by MPs on his role in securing an £800,000 loan for Boris Johnson.
The culture committee branded Richard Sharp guilty of “significant errors of judgement” by failing to declare his role in facilitating the credit line for Mr Johnson before he was named BBC chair by the then-prime minister. This week the BBC chair was recalled to appear before the committee and its report was published on Sunday.
