The government has set out reforms to help bolster public confidence in the BBC's impartiality and complaints system, including boosting the oversight of regulator Ofcom.
The government has been accused of using the BBC as a punching bag after a minister said the corporation has on occasion been biased – but then was unable to provide examples of this.
Ofcom's oversight of the BBC will be extended under reforms aimed at bolstering confidence in the impartiality of the corporation.
