The UK’s influential Culture, Media & Sport Committee has written to both the BBC and The Sun over investigations into Huw Edwards and Dan Wootton.
Caroline Dinenage wrote to BBC Acting Chair Elan Closs Stephens yesterday saying the committee is “keen to see that the BBC conducts its two wider reviews in a transparent manner” following the Edwards scandal.
The BBC has launched two reviews since the accusations against Edwards, one of which will be a ‘factfinding’ investigation and the other a more detailed work on protocols. Director General Tim Davie has already said the latter could take several months to report back and a Deloitte partner has been drafted in to help.
“We share your concern to respect the privacy of individuals and to give due regard to the BBC’s duty of care obligations,” said Dinenage’s letter. “As such it is entirely appropriate that the BBC’s fact-finding investigation is a confidential process. However, we are keen to see that the BBC conducts its two wider reviews in a transparent manner.”
The BBC should tell the committee how it intends to make the outcomes of the reviews public, Dinenage added. “It is important that the public are reassured that the BBC is taking appropriate actions to ensure that the `red flagging’ process works effectively,” she wrote.
The Edwards scandal rocked the media world following a Sun story about a ‘BBC presenter’ who had paid a young person with a crack addiction thousands of pounds for sexually explicit images. After several days during which the nationwide gossip mill reached crescendo, Edwards was revealed to be the subject of the exposé and he is currently suffering from severe depression.
