That's showbiz

As the BBC only publishes the figures in bands, it's not possibly to calculate who's topping the table in the latest release of payments for work at external events - but Amol Rajan wouldn't be a bad guess. 

He earned "over £10k" from Virgin Media/O2; "over £10k" from JLA Speakers; and "over £10k" from Dynamic Planner Ltd; "over £10k" from the Institute of Customer Service; and "£5k-£10k" as a moderator for the All England Tennis Club (the panel also featured BBC Sport boss Alex Kay-Jelski). 

The other big "over £10k" earner was Nick Robinson, for BNP Paribas and JLA Speakers. Faisal Islam landed one "over £10k", for an after dinner speech for accountant members of the ICAS.

Nick and Amol topped the "£10k" charter in the previous three months; so no-one's urging them to ease off.

May I make an appeal through this blog for a bit more transparency, with the register showing who's the paying client, in the case of speaker agencies like JLA ?
