The Public Accounts Committee report is published today
A newly-published report from the Public Accounts Committee, which examines value for money of Government projects, programmes and service delivery, also says the BBC 'lacks a clear plan' to successfully deliver benefits from its new proposal to spend £700m outside of London.
There's 'particular concerns' over the BBC moving budgets from its local radio to local online services, which the PAC says in effect reduces services for older people or those less able to access online platforms - said to be a key part of the original ATUK programme. "The PAC’s inquiry found concerns that the BBC’s confidence is misplaced that ATUK will deliver as expected. While it has performed well in some areas , it is behind schedule in other areas with no plan to get back on track."
"We wish the BBC fair wind with ATUK, and hope our report comes as a timely reminder of the importance of seeking value for money, rather than just money spent.”It's MPS also said the corporation hadn't given the committee 'a coherent explanation of the impact it expects to deliver for licence fee payers' from the £700m commitment.
