There is one recorded incident in which a member of staff has been disciplined due to inappropriate use of a social networking site in the last year.
No chocolate digestives are on offer for meetings with the BBC in London, says Julie Van Der Woude. But she "can confirm that chocolate digestives are offered on the BBC’s hospitality menus in Wales and in the English Regions (except for London). In Wales, the cost for the financial year 2009/2010 was £149.94. In the English Regions the hospitality menus offer mixed biscuits comprising chocolate digestives, bourbons, shortcake and oatmeal. The cost for the financial year 2009/2010 in English Regions for mixed biscuits amounted to £1,868. It is not possible to separate out how much of this cost was just for chocolate digestives."
