BBC: Standards
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether she has had discussions with the BBC board on their work to maintain professional standards within the BBC.
Answered by Stephanie Peacock
The BBC is operationally and editorially independent, but the Secretary of State has sought assurance that the BBC has robust processes in place regarding non-editorial complaints so that it acts at pace and is transparent with the public at the earliest opportunity to ensure trust is maintained.
