That's Pat

Congratulations to Dame Patricia Hodgson - thwarted in the race for both Chair and Deputy Chair of the BBC Trust, she's now heading to Ofcom, as Deputy Chair there.

Her commitment as a BBC Trustee was for two days a week - remuneration should have been £35,935 pa, but in these austere times, all Trustees have taken a voluntary hit, down to £32,952.  At Ofcom, as deputy chair, she'll get £70,000 for two and a half days a week.  She's also a non-executive director of the Competition Commission.  Has she enough time left to devote to her main job, Principal of Newnham College, Cambridge - or is business done at High Table ?
