BBC publishes latest set of expenses revealing 15% drop compared with last quarter

The BBC today publishes its latest expenses relating to taxis, hotels, flights, rail and hospitality for the 101 senior managers - those who earn over £150k and/or sit on one of the Divisional Boards. Figures show that there has been a 15% reduction compared to the last quarter.

As part of our continuing programme of transparency, the BBC has published the latest quarterly expenses for the period July to September 2011 (Q2 of 2011-12) here

A BBC spokesperson said: “The BBC is a major broadcasting organisation with production bases across the UK and a news operation that covers a constantly changing global news agenda. There will always be unavoidable costs to keep the business running but we are mindful that we spend public money and we work hard to keep this expenditure to a minimum.”

The BBC is also publishing the Gifts & Hospitality Register for these senior managers for the same period, together with Declarations of Personal Interests. The disclosure includes specific information on each of these senior managers in terms of leadership, financial and decision-making responsibility.
