The current plan is to now bring it into place on 1 August and the BBC will keep the issue under review.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Maldon answering member printed Mr John Whittingdale question first answered 18/03/2020 18:57:28 answering member 39 label Biography information for Sir John Whittingdale
