BBC chairman Richard Sharp resigns after report finds he breached appointment rules
Richard Sharp has resigned as BBC chairman after a report found he breached the governance code for public appointments.
He announced on Friday morning that he will stand down at the end of June after reading the findings of barrister Adam Heppinstall KC’s review into his appointment, which has just been published. The report was ordered after it emerged he played a role in facilitating an £800,000 loan guarantee for then prime minister Boris Johnson before being recommended for the influential role overseeing the public broadcaster’s independence.
