The allegations emerging around Jimmy Savile are absolutely horrifying1. My thoughts are with those affected2 and their families who have suffered for silence for decades. I believe that it is absolutely right that the BBC asked for the police to first and foremost investigate these allegations, and that they have waited to act - on the advice of the police - before launching their own inquiries3. It is essential that this police inquiry4 is not disrupted. The BBC is a globally admired British institution and has a unique place in our cultural life. As such it is imperative5 that it behaves in a manner that makes it worthy6 of the public’s ongoing7 trust and confidence. And both the Prime Minister and I said last week that we believed that the BBC should investigate these very serious allegations. The BBC Trust is there to represent the interests of License8 Fee payer and it is they that must investigate these matters and for they to rectify9 them to. Following their board meeting on Friday, I called both the Director General and Chair of the Trust to underline how vital it is to have a clear terms of reference in place and for there to be an announcement of who will chair the inquiries as soon as possible. From those conversations I am now confident that both the BBC and the BBC Trust are taking these allegations very seriously indeed. The BBC has launched three separate investigations10 that the House will be where. The first will look particularly the allegations with regards to the item on Savile which was inappropriately pulled from Newsnight. The second review, to be undertaken when the police advise it is appropriate to do so, will focus on Jimmy Savile himself. And although the BBC’s child protection policy was overhauled11 in 2002, the review will also focus on whether its policy is fit for purpose and what lessons can be learnt and that will be assisted by an independent. There’s also Mr. Speaker an additional piece of work that will look at the very troubling allegations of sexual harassment12 in the BBC that have come to light in recent weeks as well. And the Director General will give further details of this later in the week.
