Lord Ryder of Wensum
Main Page: Lord Ryder of Wensum (Conservative - Life peer)Can my noble friend give me a cast-iron commitment that the absurd and complex governance arrangements at the BBC will be reformed?
I thank my noble friend for his question. The Government have reservations about the current governance structure and are considering the scope for change within the current charter framework. The governance structure was introduced in January 2007 when the charter came into full effect. The structure is intended to last for the duration of the charter—that is, until the end of 2016.
