Commenting on the announced changes and savings at the BBC, Co-Chair of the Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Party Committee on Culture, Media and Sport, Don Foster said:
"Every job lost is a personal tragedy and everything must be done to limit their impact.
"Keeping the licence fee flat, and giving the public some relief in difficult financial times, inevitably means making savings.
"I'm confident the BBC can save money while still preserving the high quality programming the public loves.
"It's unfortunate that this has to happen and it is imperative that cuts should not lead to a lower quality BBC."
