BBC presenters face pay cap in equal pay row

BBC presenters may have their pay capped following the row over women’s pay at the broadcaster.

The BBC's Media Editor Amol Rajan says the corporation is proposing a pay cap of £320,000 for its news presenters, according to BBC News.

Rajan said the cap has not yet been fully agreed and will apply only to on-air staff working full time, affecting presenters, editors and correspondents, who will be given time to respond to the proposals.

However, Damian Collins, Chair of the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee (DCMS) select committee which will be holding a hearing on the situation this week, said the cap did not address all his concerns.
