BBC director-general Tim Davie has told the corporation’s staff that new impartiality guidelines will not prohibit them from attending Pride parades.

The new rules were set out on Thursday as part of a set of instructions and guidance, alongside new training, aiming to “ensure the highest possible standards of impartiality across the organisation”, according to the broadcaster.
