The BBC has published the annual list of its highest-paid staff – and only two of the top 20 are women, despite an outcry about gender inequality last year.

The top-earning woman is once again Claudio Winkelman, in 13th place, on a salary of £370,000 to £379,999. Vanessa Feltz is the only other female member of the top 20.

The number of women earning more than £200,000 has increased from seven to 14 in the year to March 31st 2018, while the number of men paid more than £500,000 had fallen from five to three.

Last year the BBC published the list for the first time, after it became a requirement of its Royal Charter obligations.Emily Maitlis, who earns between £220,000 and £230,000, Jane Garvey, on £150,000 to £160,000, and Sarah Montague, on £160,000 to £170,000, have all moved onto the list after not appearing last year.
