Issuing a statement in the past few minutes, the board, which is chaired by Samir Shah, said: “Mr Edwards pleaded guilty to an appalling crime. The BBC was forced to reveal last week that a small number of senior leaders including Director General Tim Davie were aware Edwards was arrested last November over three counts of making indecent images of children. The board noted that “the Executive has agreed to look at lessons from this period, including the BBC’s approach to the rules surrounding payments when employees are suspended.”
