BBC’s 10 Executives Lose Their Bonuses: BBC Trust

Bonuses for the 10 most senior BBC executives are to be suspended indefinitely, the chairman of the BBC Trust has announced.

Sir Michael Lyons said their pay was still regarded as "generous" despite a 7% fall, and a review was under way.

As the BBC's annual report was unveiled, Sir Michael also responded to criticism from culture secretary Ben Bradshaw about sharing the licence fee.

Sir Michael maintained plans were "a threat to the independence of the BBC".
