Dear Sir or Madam,

I would be grateful if you could supply me with information on the
individual contracts and salaries of the news and sports presenters
employed by the BBC, in both Television on Radio.

Recent disclosures in the media about the level of salaries is
concerning me as a tax and license-fee payer.

The other concern I have is the number of presenters the
Corporation feel it is necessary to cover an event.

The coverage always seems to be over-staffed in my opinion and
therefore too expensive.

I haven't gone into any detail of this perceived over-staffing but
I will if you want examples.

Yours faithfully,

Colin Phillips
