Staying ?

Some elements of the media have focussed on travel between London and Salford in the latest disclosures of BBC management expenses.

At the end of last year, the BBC revealed, that for all Auntie's apparent success in persuading staff from London to move north, only 14 had bought a new home in the area with the assistance of BBC funds (and why wouldn't you use the scheme ?).

So far, £6.45m has been paid to 549 staff in terms of accommodation support, and it would seem that the vast majority of that is being used to subsidise rents.
