The BBC Trust has, on legal advice, told George Entwistle that it won't be seeking to claw back any of his pay-off for resigning as Director-General.
We are not, at this stage, told whether or not he has spend all of the £10,000 agreed to cover “reasonable, professional communication support" that was also part of the package. The Evening Standard reports that George turned to Portland Communications for that back-up - their advisory board includes Michael Portillo and Alastair Campbell; past and present clients include Tesco, Facebook, Google, McDonalds and The Scouts.
It's easy to see how you might rack-up £10k quite quickly - For each client and each project, we create a bespoke team. Drawn from across our communications, digital, public affairs and international practices we consistently deliver results for the world’s most demanding clients.
