The Trust has issued the following statement in response to the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee’s report on the Future of the BBC, published on 26 February 2015.

"This report highlights a number of issues and challenges that the Trust recognises and that we are seeking to address, and we agree that there must be robust internal governance and independent regulatory oversight of the BBC.  Charter Review will be when this and other issues are debated thoroughly, but we welcome this thoughtful and considered early contribution.  In the meantime the Trust will continue to argue for a BBC that delivers accurate, independent and high quality content that provides something for everyone, underpinned by a universal funding model."
