Dan Walker and Justin Webb are among on-air talents to receive more than £5,000 for non-BBC events.

BBC Breakfast's Dan Walker and the Today programme's Justin Webb both appear on the list

It requires on-air talent in news and current affairs, sports news and radio journalism roles to declare earnings from work undertaken outside of the BBC, including speaking engagements or corporate events. Now this register, which will lead to some bad headlines but shows the BBC continuing to embrace transparency, is a significant step in reducing potential conflicts of interest.

It reveals that Walker was paid more than £5,000 in January for moderating an event for St James' Place Management and again in March for moderating an event for the Co-op.
