Senior BBC execs get €1.65m more than needed in pay-offs

Senior managers at the BBC were paid £1.4m (€1.65m) more than their contracts demanded in pay-offs over a three-year period, according to a new report.

The National Audit Office (NAO) examined a further 90 severance payments made to corporation bosses after its initial study of 60 cases, published earlier this year, showed some staff were paid more than they were entitled to.
