Title: Scrap BBC Trust?

"A Review of the Governance and Regulation of the BBC",

by

Sir David Clementi

The 98 page report has been published.

BBC regulation should be by Ofcom.

"It is proposed that Ofcom’s scope should be widened to enable it to have oversight of editorial
complaints, including for ‘accuracy and impartiality’, in respect of all the BBC’s linear broadcasting and video on demand output."

"Overall I conclude that the BBC Trust model is flawed. It conflates governance and regulatory functions within the Trust, which leads to confusion about the Trust's role.
In its governance mode the BBC operates a two-tier board structure which leads to confused responsibilities."
