Dear British Broadcasting Corporation,

I am aware that the BBC is funded through a combination of Grant-in-Aid from the DCMS and the Department for Work and Pensions, as well as revenue generated from commercial activities. My questions are:

(a) Please provide the number of BBC employees with which the BBC is aware of their providing services to or in benefit of BritBox SVOD Ltd, BritBox LLC, BBC Studios Ltd, BBC Studios Productions Ltd or BBC Studios Distribution Ltd.

As an example, the BBC lists an individual 'Bal Samra' as BBC Group Commercial Director who also holds a position with BritBox SVOD Ltd.

(b) Where BBC employees provide their services to organisations / entities not funded through 'Grant-in-Aid' funds can you please provide the BBC policy for how services are charged back / salary pro rata'd / or some other process to ensure that ' Grant-in-Aid' funds are not abused delivering services that are not within the scope of ' Grant-in-Aid' funding. If you have no such process or policy please state this in your response.

Yours faithfully,

Dave McIntyre
