THE man who will lead the BBC’s investigation into the appointment of Richard Sharp is the father of a senior Number 10 aide, it has been revealed.
The BBC launched an investigation into its own chairman, Richard Sharp, after he was accused of helping to facilitate an £800,000 loan for the then prime minister Boris Johnson while in the process of applying for the job.
William Shawcross, the Commissioner for Public Appointments, has been tasked with leading the probe into Sharp’s appointment.
