In the interests of full political transparency and accountability, we call upon the BBC to introduce new financial transparency rules to ensure that ThinkTanks which appear on BBC News and Current Affairs programmes disclose the main funders of their organisations. Failure to publicly declare this information* should disqualify the organisation from appearing on a BBC platform.
*At the very least this should include broadcasting of the ThinkTank website address which must contain information of its main funding sources
