Recommendation 22

22

No concerns about Dr Shah's conflicts of interest due to proposed mitigations.

Conclusion
Dr Shah responded to our concerns about the BBC’s impartiality and independence from the Government, and the need for accountability from the organisation and from the Chair specifically to Parliament and the public. We have no grounds for concern about Dr Shah’s reported conflicts of interest, given his proposed mitigations, including resignations and recusal as required.
