Boris referred to watchdog over 'BBC chairman helping him get £800,000 loan'

They receive advice from a panel of four people, who must run a “fair and open” contest.

Mr Sharp has acknowledged that he connected with Mr Blyth but says he did not provide financial advice and has insisted there was “no conflict [of interest]”.The spokesman for Mr Johnson added: “This is rubbish. Richard Sharp has never given any financial advice to Boris Johnson, nor has Mr Johnson sought any financial advice from him. There has never been any remuneration or compensation to Mr Sharp from Boris Johnson for this or any other service.

“Mr Johnson did indeed have dinner with Mr Sharp, whom he has known for almost 20 years, and with his cousin. So what? Big deal. All Mr Johnson’s financial arrangements have been properly declared and registered on the advice of officials.” Mr Sharp said: “There is not a conflict when I simply connected, at his request, Mr Blyth with the cabinet secretary and had no further involvement whatsoever.”

A BBC spokesman said: “The BBC plays no role in the recruitment of the chair and any questions are a matter for the government.”
