BNP leader Nick Griffin 'could appear on Question Time again

BNP leader Nick Griffin could be invited back to make further appearances on Question Time, the BBC has said.

The controversial far-right politician could feature on the show again because the BNP's electoral support and two European Parliament seats mean it fulfils the criteria necessary to deserve an invite.

Mark Byford, deputy director-general of the BBC, said it was justifiable because the BNP was 'not banned from the airwaves'.
