'There are some salaries at the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ which are excessive' - Jo Stevens MP on gender pay gap

As some male Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ presenters agree to accept a pay cut, the Labour MP joined Dot to discuss the issue.

At the time of writing, Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ News presenters Nicky Campbell, Jeremy Vine, John Humphrys, Jon Sopel and Huw Edwards have agreed to take a pay cut.

The announcement follows Carrie Gracie's resignation from her post as Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ China editor in protest at what she described as unequal pay between male and female international editors. An independent audit into equal pay at the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ will be published next week.

Jo Stevens, Labour MP for Cardiff Central, joined the programme to discuss her views on the issue and the wider context of unequal pay in the workplace.
