'Same old BBC dodge!' Bill Cash erupts at Beeb's whitewashing of scandals

Sir Bill Cash appeared before the House of Commons to ask questions to Media Minister John Wittingdale amid the Diana Inquest revelations. The stern MP demanded the minister to “make it clear” to the BBC and Ofcom that any changes to their codes of conduct and standards be subject to parliamentary approval rather than independent editorial boards. Sir Bill added the decision would be so the BBC could not “dodge” any scandal which comes its way and referred to the Jimmy Savile scandal which saw whistleblowers scared to come forward.
