BBC Chair Richard Sharp made 'significant errors of judgement' in failing to declare his involvement in facilitating a loan for then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson shortly before he was appointed to the role, a committee of lawmakers said on Sunday.
The cross-party parliamentary committee said Sharp's decision not to tell it or the appointment panel about the matter during the appointment process was a breach of the standards expected of individuals applying for such public appointments.
"Such a significant error of judgment meant we were not in the full possession of the facts when we were required to rule on his suitability for the role of BBC Chair," acting committee Chair Damian Green said. Sharp should consider the impact his omissions would have on trust in him, the BBC and the public appointments process, the committee's report said.
The chair of the broadcaster, which is funded by a licence fee paid by TV-watching households, is appointed on the recommendation of the government. A spokesperson for Sharp said: "Mr Sharp appreciates that there was information that the committee felt that it should have been made aware of in his pre-appointment hearing. He regrets this and apologises."The opposition Labour Party said Sharp's position was "increasingly untenable".
