Huw Edwards: BBC Chief Defends Not Firing Former Star Presenter After Arrest in Child Images Case
The BBC's director general Tim Davie has addressed the corporation's handling of the Huw Edwards case.
Davie revealed that the BBC was informed of the arrest’s connection to indecent images of children but lacked specific details beyond the category of potential offenses. When questioned about Edwards’ pension, Davie noted the challenges in reclaiming such benefits, describing it as “very difficult to claw back, nigh on impossible.” He added that the BBC would “look at all options” regarding pay, despite potential legal hurdles. Davie reportedly is due a meeting with newly appointed Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy, who has oversight of the BBC, on the matter imminently.
