PUBLICATION OF SALARIES AND REMUNERATION PACKAGES OF BBC EXECUTIVES

Early day motion 671, tabled 20 January 2010 by Roger Godsiff (Labour). Signed by 33 members.

That this House recognises the understandable public interest which has been generated by the publication of salaries and expenses of executives at the BBC earning six figure salaries; believes that all salaries and remuneration packages paid to individuals, either directly or indirectly, from public funds exceeding three times the current national average wage of £25,123, during the tax year 2008-09, should be placed in the public domain and made available for public scrutiny; and further believes that this practice should be implemented and the figures up-rated as a standard requirement for each future tax year.

Signatures by party: Labour 21, Liberal Democrat 3, Conservative 2, DUP 2, Independent 2, Scottish National Party 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
