BBC chairman Richard Sharp on Friday, April 28, announced his resignation after an inquiry found he had breached rules for failing to declare his involvement in arranging a loan for then-prime minister Boris Johnson.
Sharp was involved in securing a private credit line for up to £800,000 for Johnson from a Canadian businessman.
“I feel that this matter may well be a distraction from the Corporation’s good work were I to remain in post until the end of my term,” said Sharp, who was formerly a boss of current premier Rishi Sunak at Goldman Sachs.
