Following publication today of Sir David Clementi’s review of the governance and regulation of the BBC, BBC Trust Chairman Rona Fairhead said:

“Sir David Clementi proposes a strong BBC board and a strong external regulator – a change we have argued for. It will be important to get the details right, and we now want to work with the Government to ensure roles are clear, the structure is effective and the BBC’s independence protected.”
