Telegraph:
A trio of BBC executives ran up more than £12,000 in taxi claims on expenses between them in a three-month period, new figures showed.
They include a total of £4,862 in fares by BBC director of vision Jana Bennett.
The figures are revealed in the latest disclosure of expense claims released for top BBC executives.
Ms Bennett, who is paid a salary of £412,000, claimed £675 in a two-day period in November for journeys within the UK.
She hit the headlines last year when it emerged that she had claimed £500 for a stolen handbag.
Other big taxi claimants include the BBC’s director of future media and technology Erik Huggers, who ran up £3,908 over the period.
And Caroline Thomson, the corporation’s chief operating officer, accounted for £3,880.
