Expenses and central bookings are down 4 per cent on last quarter, with particular savings on hotels, taxis and hospitality, and down 11 per cent since we first started publishing in 2009.
Today’s publication is part of our continued commitment to provide more transparency in how we are spending the Licence Fee and is our 12th expenses disclosure.
