Lies, Damn Lies, and BBC Programming

To restore trust, the BBC wants to spend public money for "honesty courses." But the Evening Standard finds Parliament displeased:

Tory MP Philip Davies asked: "Is funding a training programme to tell your staff not to lie and cheat viewers a good use of licence-fee payers' money? Perhaps you need to look at your recruitment process if you have to train them on such fundamentals as not lying or cheating?"

But Mr Byford insisted the training programme, called Safeguarding Trust, was a good idea.
