S4C: Committee of MPs call on government to appoint new chair for Welsh-language broadcaster | UK News
A committee of MPs has recommended the government appoint a new chair for Welsh-language broadcaster S4C.
The chair of the Welsh affairs committee has written to the culture secretary after an evidence session with current chair Rhodri Williams and the lead non-executive board member of the unitary board.
In his letter to Lucy Frazer, Stephen Crabb said “urgent work” was required to update HR policies.
Mr Crabb noted “an absence of cultural leadership at board level”.
“We are concerned at the approach Mr Williams and the board took in seeking advice and reaching assurance in relation to key decisions it made,” he added.
He said the committee remained “concerned about the ability of the current leadership to oversee the changes required to rebuild trust at all levels of the organisation and with its wider stakeholders”.
The committee was not satisfied “different complaints made against specific individuals had been handled equitably and with proper consideration of the fair treatment of all those involved”.
