    Police asked to examine pay-offs to BBC bosses: Corporation spent £60m on severance deals

    to senior figures over eight years, report reveals

    George Entwistle collected a £450,000 pay-off after resigning two months into the job as Director General

    Police have been asked to assess whether paying large severance deals to top-ranked BBC executives

    amounted to misconduct in public office.

    Discussions were revealed in correspondence between the Metropolitan Police and Conservative

    MP Rob Wilson, a critic of the size of the pay-offs.

    In a letter to the MP, Mark Rowley, Assistant Commissioner of the Met's specialist crime and operations

    unit, said: "We are currently gathering information to assist with our assessment and a decision will be

    made as to whether we progress to a full investigation in due course."
