The BBC pays nearly £1m a year to staff in the form of "special allowances", which it can't define - at least, quickly. It says it would take more than two and half days to find out the terms of various locally agreed special payments, therefore it is absolved from the responsibility of finding out for a Freedom of Information enquiry.
Other allowances bring the total up to £1.5m p.a. - the additional payments seem mainly to be hangovers from attempts to change terms and conditions of service which are never quite completed at the BBC.
