it does comply with what lucy fraser said about the swift and l lucy fraser said about the swift andal, necessarily. it would not be great to have a significant presenter involved in something that many people would see as tawdry and sleazy. it is important. they do have to back off and let the police get on with that. i don't think it is anything like as bad as thejimmy savile inquiry. jimmy savile was one person he did a lot of terrible things, and this is not the same. it is difficult and unpleasant, but almost inevitable in a large organisation from time to time one of your staff will let you down in some way. if it is indeed true. it has to be looked at. but it is not the end of the world for the bbc. many people have suggested there is a public interest for the broadcaster, the presenter to be named. dominic cathy annie just suggested that the bbc may never actually name this presenter. what would your advice be to this presenter at the moment? i would your advice be to this presenter at the moment? i think it would be very _ presenter at the moment? i think it would be very wi

that is coming through from the pa news agency that the culture secretary lucy fraser.a political turn — with the uk's culture secretary saying they will speak to the bbc�*s director general tim davie today. with more on this is our political correspondent peter saull: we also had labour talking about this earlier on today, haven't we? yes, and the culture secretary suggested the conversation is now taking place between the director—general and lucy fraser. interesting that she decided to put the line—out earlier on today about how concerned she was about these allegations and the fact that she wanted to have a chat with tim davie. the bbc is independent of government. it operates independently entirely but this, i suppose, is a sign of the political pressure that is now in the bbc to say a little bit more about what exactly has gone on here, when this investigation started, what the current status of that investigation is, why the broadcaster in question was still on airfor some is, why the broadcaster in question was still on air for some time after the reports first
