Future strategy of BBC also on agendaBBC director-general defends Gary Lineker's £1.3m pay packetSpeaking about how the licence fee might evolve, BBC policy director Clare Sumner says the broadcaster looks at three areas.
Committee chairwoman Baroness Stowell asks how the BBC holds its highest-paid stars to account for upholding the broadcaster's reputation. He continues that a process has put in place which means staff members can report concerns through another channel other than just their line manager.

Director-general Tim Davie is pressed on the BBC's response to complaints, and admits the broadcaster often gets"hundreds and thousands of complaints on scheduling issues".
She describes a"huge pressure" to disclose"the name of somebody to whom we had a duty of care and a duty of privacy".
