BBC chairman and Tory donor Richard Sharp has been summoned to appear at Westminster to be quizzed by MPs about his appointment.
Senior Conservative MP Damian Green, the acting chair of the Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport (DCMS) Committee, has written to Sharp to ask that he comes to the hearing in early February.
It comes after reports that, before he was recommended for the top BBC role by Boris Johnson, Sharp helped facilitate a loan worth up to £800,000 for the disgraced former prime minister.
