The government is prepared to force the entertainment industry to improve safeguarding practices unless rapid change is introduced, BBC Newsnight has learned.
An investigation by the Guardian and ITV News alleged that entertainer David Walliams had been accused by several women of sexual misconduct and abusing his position, which he denies.
Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy will tell a meeting of industry leaders next week that if their response to recent allegations is not robust enough, she is prepared to force participation in the industry body to protect whistleblowers, the BBC understands.
