AN official review of the process to appoint the embattled BBC chairman implicated in securing a £800,000 loan to Boris Johnson will take place, it has been announced.
The Commissioner of Public Appointments, William Shawcross, said he will examine whether the process which saw ex-banker Richard Sharp appointed as chair of the broadcaster was up to standard.
It comes after The Sunday Times revealed Sharp had facilitated a loan to the then-prime minister before his appointment to the role in 2021.
