Nigel Evans, Member of Parliament for the Ribble Valley, today called for the TV Licence Fee to be frozen because of the exorbitant wages paid to BBC Executives. Speaking at questions to the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Mr Evans said: “There are 49 BBC Executives who are earning more than the Prime Minister. All the licence fees from the Ribble Valley and Chorley go to paying those people’s wages alone. If this was any other institution the Today programme would have done a hatchet job on them.” “Can we have a licence fee freeze until Auntie gets a grip of herself?”
