Lisa Nandy to seek assurances about review into making of documentary after corporation admits ‘serious flaws’

The culture secretary is to hold an urgent meeting on Friday with Samir Shah, the chair of the BBC, after the corporation apologised for “serious flaws” in the making of a documentary about the war in Gaza.

Lisa Nandy said she would be seeking assurances that a review commissioned by the BBC’s director general would be “comprehensive, rigorous and get to the bottom of exactly what has happened”.
