Breaking: Huw Edwards has been asked to hand back his salary - views wanted

This is breaking news - The BBC has asked Huw Edwards to hand back the salary he was paid after being arrested for possessing indecent images of children.

The presenter “behaved in bad faith” by continuing to take the money, the BBC Chair Samir Shah said in a letter to staff on Friday.

Edwards, who pleaded guilty to eight charges last week, earned more than £200,000 between being arrested in November last year and resigning from the corporation in April.

In a statement, the BBC Board also said it backed Director General Tim Davie’s handling of the matter.

Mr Davie confirmed last week that the BBC had known that the presenter had been arrested over possessing the most serious category of images.

Would be good to get views on this, particularly a legal view:

• Huw has been asked to hand back his salary - wil he do it?
• Can he be forced to hand back his salary?
• If he doesn't hand back his salary, is there any legal route to make him?
