BBC to investigate Savile claims
The chairman of the BBC Trust said allegations of sexual abuse by Jimmy Savile could not be excused as behaviour from a time when “attitudes were different”, and gave his backing to inquiries by police and the corporation.
Lord Patten told a business dinner in Cardiff last night it was “ no excuse to say ’that was then’ in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, and attitudes were different then”.
