BBC

Simon Hoare Excerpts

Thursday 15th September 2016 Commons Chamber

[Karen Bradley]

The hon. Lady will have seen a letter from the director-general setting out his view of how the BBC ensures that that happens, and as an independent BBC, it is for the BBC to make sure that happens.

[Simon Hoare (North Dorset) (Con)]

I welcome my right hon. Friend’s statement, in particular in relation to the involvement of the National Audit Office and the value-for-money assessments it will make. Does my right hon. Friend agree that that should deliver confidence, transparency, accountability and financial rigour?

[Karen Bradley]

I do.
