Following Lord Dyson's report

The BBC Board is to carry out a review of the effectiveness of the broadcaster's "editorial policies and governance".

It follows a damning report, which found retired journalist, Martin Bashir, used deceitful methods to secure his interview with Princess Diana, in 1995.
