Governance and regulation of the BBC

Call for Evidence Reports of the Select Committee on the BBC Charter Review In 2005, the Select Committee on the BBC Charter Review, a precursor to the Communications Committee, published three reports of its findings on the renewal of the Royal Charter. It has now been five years since the last review and the establishment of the BBC Trust. Given the forthcoming change in the Chairmanship of the BBC Trust and Lord Patten’s stated plan to review the relationship between the Trust and the Executive and the Trust and Ofcom in the near future this inquiry will consider the role of the BBC Trust.
