House of Commons
4 May 2021
The BBC (Transparency) Bill would require the BBC to publish more detailed financial information. It would compel disclosure of invoices above £500, expenditure by region, staff remuneration and exit payments, payments to personal service companies and other contractors, and the outside earnings of staff, along with related information. The aim is to improve transparency about how BBC public funds are spent.
It is currently at the second reading in the House of Commons. If it passes this stage, it would proceed to detailed scrutiny in Committee stage, followed by further readings.
