LONDON (Reuters) - An investigation into whether BBC chairman Richard Sharp breached rules by failing to declare his role in arranging a loan for then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson around the time he was appointed is expected to be published on Friday.

The country's public appointments watchdog has been investigating the way in which Sharp was selected by the government to chair the broadcaster in 2021.
