BBC chairman resigns over UK ex-PM Boris Johnson loan inquiry
London, Apr 28 (PTI) BBC chairman Richard Sharp resigned on Friday after a report into whether he failed to properly disclose his involvement in the facilitation of a loan to former British prime minister Boris Johnson was published.
The 67-year-old former banker, who has been the chairman of the UK taxpayer-funded licence fee-backed British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), said the investigation found he had breached the governance code for public appointments.
The independent review, led by barrister Adam Heppinstall, looked at Sharp’s appointment and his involvement in facilitating an 800,000-pound loan to Johnson.
