Has it really taken Sir William Shawcross a week to remember that he knows Richard Sharp ? (Clearly Richard Sharp wouldn't have had it front of mind to remember William Shawcross)
Public Appointments Commissioner William Shawcross has recused himself from the investigation into Richard Sharp's appointment as BBC chairman. In a letter to the chair of the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee, Mr Shawcross wrote: "As I have met Mr Sharp on previous occasions, I have decided to recuse myself from this particular investigation. I will be delegating my powers as commissioner under the 2019 Order in Council to an independent person who will be appointed by my office for this one investigation. They will have sole responsibility and will be supported by my officials."
