answer text <p>The public deserves to know how its licence fee is being spent, which is why the government required the BBC to publish the salary details of all BBC staff and talent paid over £150,000. This was published for the first time as part of the BBC 2016/17 annual report.

It is for licence fee payers to determine whether the BBC is value for money.</p> more like this
