BBC fury as Kate Hoey leads demands for major reform: Accountable for our money!

Kate Hoey led outrage in the House of Lords over the lack of transparency and accountability at the BBC.

The Brexit campaigner said limits on Freedom of Information (FOI) requests meant it was difficult to challenge the broadcaster. The BBC can reject FOIs submitted if it relates to journalism, art or literature.

She accused the corporation of exploiting the law to withhold information.

She said: "The BBC is a huge institution which took £3.5billion from the public last year, yet it's the least transparent in its attitudes to Freedom of Information request, using journalism is this wide way of getting out of FOI."

Calling the BBC "unaccountable", she pushed for the FOI rules to be changed to "ensure the BBC becomes more transparent and more accountable for our money".
