CULTURE Secretary Lisa Nandy was expected to grill BBC director-general Tim Davie today over the corporation’s knowledge of Huw Edwards’ indecent child image offences.

On Wednesday the veteran broadcaster admitted to accessing indecent images of children and faces sentencing in September.

The BBC said it knew of his arrest on “suspicion of serious offences” in November, but continued employing him until April.
