BBC expenses down 9% year on year

The BBC today publishes details of the expenses, central bookings and Gifts and Hospitality Register for its most senior managers for Q3 – October to December 2011. 

The figures show we have achieved 9% savings year on year with particular savings on hotels, taxis and flights. Today’s publication is part of our commitment to provide more transparency in how we are spending the Licence Fee and is our 11th expenses disclosure.

The latest quarterly expenses for the period October to December 2011 (Q3 of 2011-12) are available here.

A BBC spokesperson said: “Our expenses are down 9% year on year. There will always be costs associated with running a large media organisation with bases across the UK and abroad, but we are mindful we are spending public money and will continue to work hard to keep expenditure to a minimum.”

Notes to Editors
The BBC has been publishing the salaries and expenses of the most senior managers since autumn 2009.
The senior managers on the list are those who are paid over £150k and those who sit on the BBC’s main boards.
