Pollard Report: BBC management's 'chaos and confusion'

An inquiry into Newsnight's shelving of a report into sexual abuse by Jimmy Savile has criticised BBC management but found no evidence of a cover-up.

It was not done to protect tribute shows to the late DJ and presenter, as some had claimed, said the report.

Former head of Sky News Nick Pollard, who conducted the inquiry, said there was a complete inability to deal with the events that followed the shelving of the report.
