    BBC pay-off row: Corporation chiefs defend £25m in pay-offs to just 150 staff as real 'value for money'

    Furious Tory MP blasts 'the most bizarre game of whack-a-mole I've ever seen' as seven senior BBC

    staff past and present appear before the Commons Public Accounts Committee

    The BBC Trust chairman and his predecessor, a former Director-General and four other senior figures

    in the corporation were today accused of playing a game of "whack-a-mole" as they attempted to

    blame each other for years of excessive redundancy packages funded by the licence fee.

    In unedifying and acrimonious scenes in front of MPs on the Public Accounts Committee, the BBC's

    former boss Mark Thompson clashed with his old colleagues by insisting that the BBC Trust -

    the corporation's governing body - had been fully aware of his plan to pay his former deputy Mark

    Byford £1m in a severance deal.

    Full story Independent.
