(The Guardian) Boris Johnson has called on the BBC to get its house in order as a senior minister said damning findings about Martin Bashir’s 1995 Panorama interview with Diana, Princess of Wales, means the governance of the BBC and how it operates will have to be examined.
Their comments came as the Metropolitan police said they would assess the contents of John Dyson’s report “to ensure there is no significant new evidence”, after previously deciding not to begin a criminal investigation.
The prime minister also added to pressure on the BBC, saying he was “obviously very concerned” about the report.
“I can only image the feelings of the royal family and I hope very much that the BBC will be taking every possible step to make sure nothing like this ever happens again,” he said.
