Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ: 'Amazon and Apple are poaching our staff'

The Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ's Director of Radio and Education has defended the organisation's decision not to publish the salaries of stars who receive their pay through Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Worldwide or independent production companies.

James Purnell told the World at One that if all salaries were made public, including those outside the licence fee, the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ would be at a "huge disadvantage" in the industry.

He added: "We live in a world where every week Amazon and Apple are poaching our staff."

On the gender pay gap Mr Purnell said: "We do have further to go."
