BBC News: BBC radio salaries should be disclosed, says Public Accounts Committee
June 4th, 2009Posted by Judith Townend in Broadcasting, Editors' pick
The BBC reports: “BBC radio shows cannot be properly scrutinised because of confidentiality agreements with presenters over pay, the Public Accounts Committee has said.”
“MPs complain that watchdog the National Audit Office (NAO) was not given access to individual salaries because it would not sign a non-disclosure agreement.”
