Disguised employees

The NAO's latest report into the BBC is unusual, in that it comes to no conclusion and offers no patronising advice on improvement.

The report deals with the BBC's shifting way of paying presenters on radio and tv, and particularly the Corporation's previous insistence on hiring through Personal Service Companies. It's a useful narrative, and occasionally acknowledges the real pain caused by a collision of a cash-hungry HMRC and the bureaucratic Horlicks brewed by the BBC in response.

At least the BBC Board can take some comfort. If all-seeing all-knowing Sir Amyas Morse can't find a way to extricate all parties from this Orwellian-nightmare, then probably they're doing their best (now)...
