Lord Fowler will cover the Charter review with particular reference to the financing of the BBC and to the provision of services. Does the BBC deserve its present level of funding? How important is independent and impartial news for the public? What should be done in terms of the World Service?
And perhaps most basic, is there a need today for a Royal Charter? A Royal Charter sounds very grand but in fact it means that any government in power at the time of the ten year review can make whatever changes it likes.
There is no need to put any bill before parliament. Discretion rests entirely with ministers. Can this be healthy in a modern democracy?
