BBC scandal, the former director of information leaves the presidency of the National Gallery

LONDON. The first head falls in the BBC scandal: Lord Tony Hall, who was director of information services in 1995 at the time of the interview with Princess Diana obtained by deception by reporter Martin Bashir, has announced his resignation as president of the National Gallery , one of the most important London museums. Continuing in the position, he said, would have been “a distraction” due to the controversy over his role in the story of a quarter of a century ago and therefore a damage to the National Gallery.
