Who's who at the BBC

The BBC has come under fierce criticism in Lord Hutton's report into Dr David Kelly's suicide. Here are the key figures at the corporation:

ANDREW GILLIGAN
Defence and diplomatic correspondent for the Today programme on BBC Radio 4.
He broke the initial story about the Government's dossier on Iraq's weapons, based on a meeting with Dr Kelly. The row with Number 10 followed his reports.

GAVYN DAVIES
Chairman of the BBC. Defended the Corporation and its board of governors against criticism of their handling of the dossier story row.
He said it had been important that the BBC did not "buckle" in the face of an "unprecedented" attack from the Government over its reporting.

GREG DYKE
Director-General of the BBC. He said with hindsight he would have handled Mr Campbell's original complaint differently. But Downing Street seemed to have launched a "significant, pre-planned" attack on the BBC.

RICHARD SAMBROOK
BBC's head of news. He said Mr Gilligan was a journalist who "painted in primary colours" and there were question marks over "nuance and subtlety".

STEPHEN MITCHELL
BBC head of radio news. He failed to pass on to Mr Sambrook and others concerns sent to him about Mr Gilligan's original story. Today programme editor Kevin Marsh had emailed Mr Mitchell saying that the piece was "marred by flawed reporting".

SUSAN WATTS
Science editor for BBC2's Newsnight. In a taped interview with her, Dr Kelly drew back from blaming Alastair Campbell personally for the way the 45 minute claim was used. But he blamed the No 10 press office operation, which he said was "synonymous" with Mr Campbell.
