BBC: White Paper

My Lords, one of the points that my right honourable friend made was the commitment to exclude political interference, which is basic to the future of the BBC. The role of the trustees is important and it is going to issue licenses for the running of each of the BBC services. What is going to be the basis of those licenses; will they be the result of agreements between the trust and the executive board?
