BBC head says he will look at all options to claw back pay from Huw Edwards

Corporation explores possible legal action to recover salary from broadcaster who was paid for five months after arrest

The BBC’s director general, Tim Davie, has said the corporation will “look at all options” for recovering pay from disgraced newsreader Huw Edwards.

Davie said the corporation was exploring the possibility of legal action to claw back some of its payments to Edwards, who continued to be paid for five months after his arrest. He admitted this week to accessing indecent images of children.
