Step forward, Brittin

Next Wednesday at 10am sees Matt Brittin, BBC DG, in front of the MPs of the Culture Select Committee. 

He has experience with the Public Accounts Committee; in 2013, he was hounded over the amount of tax Google pays in the UK; and in 2016, he famously couldn't be exact about his salary. 

Normally a first appearance with the Culture Select Committee is a fairly gentle probing; however this has the billing of being a full-on contribution of evidence to the MPs about Royal Charter Review, and, as with Andy Burnham, MPs will want clear answers of Mr Brittin's views on future funding, linear channels, BBC local radio and The World Tonight.
