BBC’s coverage of the BAFTAs: CMS Committee publishes response from Director General Tim Davie

The Culture, Media and Sport Committee has this morning published the BBC's response to its letter asking for an explanation as to how a racial slur came to be broadcast by the corporation as part of coverage of the BAFTA film awards.

The letter from Chair Dame Caroline Dinenage to Director General Tim Davie asked why the language was not edited out prior to broadcast and about the specific systems in place to prevent the broadcasting of such language.
