Pollard's BBC Review Evidence To Be Released

The BBC is braced for the release of evidence gathered by the Pollard inquiry into how the corporation handled the Jimmy Savile sex abuse scandal.

Thousands of emails and transcripts of interviews with senior figures ranging from Newsnight host Jeremy Paxman to former Director-General George Entwhistle will be among items released.

It is expected to reveal "dysfunctional management" contributed to the Savile scandal at the BBC.

And it is likely to place further criticism on the corporation for an apparent reluctance to hold to account executives whose actions brought about the crisis.

The Pollard Review concluded that an investigation by Newsnight into allegations of sexual abuse by the former TV presenter was abandoned because of a "flawed" decision by programme editor Peter Rippon.

Initially the BBC vowed to publish everything from the review, but there are expected to be notable omissions and some of the evidence has been redacted to avoid defamation.

Sky's Niall Paterson said: "The value of the evidence is that it will give the clearest indication of the thinking behind Mr Pollard's inquiry into why Newsnight chose to abandon an investigation into allegations of sexual abuse by the former BBC DJ and presenter, despite those involved believing their report to be accurate and valid.

"There remain those who accuse the BBC of a cover up of sorts because of its failure to sack any of those involved.

"There will doubtless be plenty in the evidence to lend weight to their case."
