Senior Tory has written to director general about ‘processes’ around rehiring of Martin Bashir
The BBC should consider paying compensation to whistleblowers whose careers were affected after raising concerns about Martin Bashir following his Panorama interview with Diana, Princess of Wales and needs to be transparent about why he was rehired, a senior Tory MP has said.
In his report released on Thursday, Lord Dyson found Bashir had commissioned fake bank statements that falsely suggested people were being paid to monitor Diana so as to gain access to her. He called this a “serious breach” of the BBC’s editorial guidelines.
