Still to come

Readers have asked me to muse on possible causes of delay to the MacQuarrie Report on the re-hiring of Martin Bashir by the BBC in 2015, and his subsequent promotion to Religion Editor. 

Say the original appointment board comprised Editor James Harding, Newsgathering boss Jonathan Munro and a (probably female) HR person. If Mr McQuarrie found that the process had been lax in anyway (lack of general knowledge about their business ? incurious ? failing to take references ?), how has he reached that conclusion ?  Has he talked to ALL three ?   

There's no sanction the BBC can take against Mr Harding, but Mr Munro is still employed. Does that protect him ?
