Summary: Patten has maintained that Entwistle's 450,000 severance amounting to 12 months' salary, plus a number of perks was the best deal for licence-fee payers. Entwistle was only contractually entitled to six months' salary. This was denied by the trust in its latest response, which pointed out that it had given evidence to two parliamentary committees and agreed to a wide-ranging NAO review of severance policies across the BBC. - guardian.co.uk
