Huw Edwards faces months off air as BBC investigation could last to autumn

Director general says corporation will take time with fact-finding mission

Huw Edwards faces being off air for months after the BBC’s director general said an internal investigation into the suspended News at Ten presenter was likely to stretch into the autumn.

Tim Davie said the corporation would take its time with a fact-finding mission looking at claims against its best-known newsreader, after two police forces concluded Edwards had no criminal case to answer.
