Clark, 46, a former assistant editor of BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, joined the BBC in 1985 as a news producer for BBC Radio Kent, becoming news editor for BBC Radio Bedfordshire in 1998.

He then took up the new post of bi-media current affairs commissioning editor for news programmes, moving to Today in 1991 as a duty editor, planning editor and later as assistant editor.

He became home news editor in 2000, succeeding Fran Unsworth, who was promoted to head of political programmes.
