BBC chairman Richard Sharp’s position is in increased peril after MPs found he made “significant errors of judgment” by acting as a go-between for a loan for Boris Johnson
Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee backed his appointment – but crucially they were not aware of his role in facilitating the £800,000 loan guarantee.
The committee concluded: “Sharp should consider the impact his omissions will have on trust in him, the BBC and the public appointments process.” The MPs said there was an “unresolved issue” as to why Cabinet Secretary Simon Case believed Sharp had himself been giving financial advice to Johnson and called on the Cabinet Office to “clear up the confusion”.
“He regrets this and apologises,” the spokesman said. “It was in seeking at the time to ensure that the rules were followed, and in the belief that this had been achieved, that Sharp acted in good faith in the way he did. The spokesman said Sharp was never involved in the arrangement of a loan between Blyth and Johnson and had not offered financial advice to the then prime minister.
