A group of more than 100 BBC women has accused the corporation of a lack of transparency over an audit of on-air talent published today.

The pay review, carried out by PWC, found a 6.9 per cent gender pay gap among on-air staff, but said there was “no evidence of gender bias in pay decision-making”.

The list of staff only includes salaries which are funded by the licence fee and does not include staff contracts with outsourced production companies.
