UK Culture Secretary Could Meet BBC Boss Tim Davie As Early As Today To Pose Tricky Questions Over Huw Edwards Scandal
Lisa Nandy will meet with BBC's Tim Davie over Huw Edwards scandal today, asking why he remained at the corporation between November and April.
The UK’s new Culture Secretary will meet BBC Director General Tim Davie as early as today to discuss the fallout of the Huw Edwards scandal. Following the former chief news anchor’s shock guilty plea to three counts of making indecent images of children, including the most serious category, the BBC was finally forced into breaking its silence and acknowledging it was aware Edwards had been arrested last November, and yet continued to pay him for a further five months. The BBC said yesterday it was “shocked to hear the details which have emerged in court” and clarified that it would have “acted immediately to dismiss him” had he been charged at any point between when he was arrested in November 2023 and when he left in April 2024 on “medical advice.”
