Among them I see that you have included a reply from Richard Sambrook to a simi letter in which you describe your investigation into the “cash for questions” aff BBC News have looked at the material you have presented to me and the Governors but found nothing new of sufficient significance to merit the review you call for. As Richard Sambrook explained, BBC News Editors must judge the importance of stories as and when they happen. News remain confident that they achieved due impartiality and a fair balance of coverage in this long-running story. Yours sincerely Pa Mark Byford QO
