Can you trust anyone at the BBC
The regulator that checks BBC spending has paid out more than £3million for its own new offices, it was revealed today.
The new base for the BBC Trust is a stone's throw from the broadcaster's headquarters and has been styled by interior designers and equipped with a video wall to give glamour to its entrance hall.
It has a specially soundproofed office for the Trust's chairman Sir Michael Lyons to protect the privacy of his meetings.
The spending on the offices in an Edwardian building close to Broadcasting House totals £3.2million - a cost of more than £70,000 for each of the 45 employees of the watchdog who will work there.
