Justice secretary makes suggestion as report claims it took more than six weeks for director general to be informed
The BBC is coming under fresh pressure over its handling of serious allegations against one of its presenters as it was reported that it took more than six weeks before the initial claims were passed to the director general. A minister has suggested the broadcaster may itself become the focus of an investigation.
On Monday, the justice secretary, Alex Chalk, urged the broadcaster to “get on with” its part in any investigation into claims the unnamed male presenter paid a vulnerable teenager for sexually explicit images.
