The chair of the Welsh language public service broadcaster has been accused by MPs of acting as “judge, jury and executioner” and faces calls to be replaced after the dismissal of two female executives.

In a letter to the culture secretary on Wednesday, the chair of the Welsh affairs committee, Stephen Crabb, recommended the removal of Rhodri Williams as the crisis at the top of S4C deepened.
