HUW TOO ILL FOR SCANDAL PROBE

BBC apology to parents of teen in midst of the scandal

- NICOLA METHVEN

HUW Edwards remains too ill to respond to the BBC investigation into his conduct, it has emerged.

As the corporation apologised for its handling of the original complaint against the 62-year-old it was revealed he has not been interviewed to address the evidence gathered by investigators.

And after seven months off air, BBC bosses must now decide whether they can conclude their probe without hearing from him, in order to get on with naming his replacement as their chief news presenter.

Huw, who was suspended on full pay of more than £435,000 last July, is not expected to return to the Beeb.
