Upon becoming Chairman Davies resigned his membership of the Labour Party. In January 2004, he resigned after the publication of the Hutton Inquiry. It heavily criticised the BBC's news reporting that Davies had supported. In his resignation statement he said he was "happy to accept ... ultimate responsibility" for everything the BBC does. However, he raised questions about the conclusions of Lord Hutton, including the question of the use of unverifiable sources and possible threats to the freedom of the press.

In 1999 he chaired an inquiry into the future funding of the BBC. His suggestions – to sell off a portion of BBC Worldwide (the corporation's commercial wing) and to raise the television licence fee by around 20% in order to fund new digital channels - were swiftly rejected by the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee.

He worked in Harold Wilson's Policy Unit from 1974–76 and then as an economic advisor to James Callaghan from 1976–1979. Afterwards he had stints as Chief Economist at Simon & Coates and Goldman Sachs. He was later promoted to international managing director of the bank. During this time he also served as one of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's "wise men" during the 1992–1997 Parliament. Davies repeatedly came under criticism for his ties to Enron.
