BBC producer resigns

In a separate development, a BBC producer has apparently resigned, following allegations which led to an ‘expose’ into Harlequin Property being pulled just days before it was due to be aired.

The Guardian and Independent newspapers have both reported that a producer accused of bribing a security consultant, in return for information concerning the beleaguered property group, has now resigned.

In a statement the BBC said: “We have accepted the resignation of a member of staff who had recently been suspended following a complaint made to Panorama.”

The programme had originally been schedule for the 25th March, but was pulled at the last minute following the allegations. The BBC has said that it is still investigating the matter and hopes the programme will air in the future.
