Nicolson calls on government to rule out giving ‘plum’ BBC posts to those involved in ‘lavish donations’

During culture, media and sport department questions today, SNP spokesperson John Nicolson asked the minister Julia Lopez about the case of Richard Sharp, the BBC Chair.

Mr Nicolson said: “What reassurances can she give to BBC staff and the general public that her party will not in the future give plum positions to people who have been involved in lavish donations?”.
