Journalists at the BBC are discussing strike action over cuts to their expenses which include a reduction in the evening meal allowance for those working long shifts.

According to the National Union of Journalists there is a proposal to cut this from £16 to £10.

The NUJ said in a statement: "Staff say the cut to expenses will mean they will be subsidising the BBC from their own wages. The BBC proposed caps are less than the HMRC rates. While journalists and technical staff face cuts to their expenses, the story is very different for management staff who receive a car allowance even if they cannot drive or do not have a car."
