BBC presenter Andrew Neil says he is happy to have his salary made public – but only if it is made clear how hard he works for his six-figure pay cheque. Neil, who presents Daily Politics on BBC2 as well as Sunday Politics and This Week on BBC1, said he has no qualms about the amount he is paid. “Which means I do five or six programmes a week when parliament’s sitting and none when it isn’t,” he said. “If you divide my pay by the number of shows I do, I’m pretty far down the pecking order,” he said. This is the level of the combined ministerial and parliamentary salary of the prime minister, at £143,462 annually.
