I've asked Peter Johnson, who's Director of Editorial Complaints and Reviews,
00:04
he's a highly respected, experienced editorial executive in the organisation,
00:09
and he's going to lead the review.
00:11
We'll look at any complaints made about Russell Brand's conduct during his time,
00:16
what was known at the time, what was done.
00:18
So full transparency, we're going to dig into anything that we've got there.
00:22
I just want to say one thing, because that came up as an allegation,
00:27
that the review will also look at the position regarding any cars
00:30
used by the BBC at that time, because that was obviously something that,
00:34
again, in a powerful testimony, was mentioned.
00:40
Peter will report to the Executive Committee and the Board,
00:43
and we want to complete this work as swiftly as possible.
00:46
I mean, I personally am hoping for an initial report in weeks, not months.
