THE chair of the BBC has said he will not resign from his role at the corporation following a row over reports about a major loan to former prime minister Boris Johnson.
Richard Sharp said he does not believe there was any conflict of interest over his appointment following allegations that he helped then PM Johnson to secure a loan of up to £800,000.
Sharp said he believed his selection process was conducted “by the book” and denied he had misled the advisory panel or MPs on the Commons Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee when he appeared before them.
