It has been revealed that a former chairman of the BBC governors paid for a prostitute on the Orient Express and claimed the encounter on expenses.

BBC historian Jean Seaton, who was granted unprecedented access to the archives, said that Baron Howard of Henderskelfe's signed-off expenses form for the use of a prostitute was kept in a manila envelope in a safe at the BBC's headquarters, reported the Independent.

Seaton also claimed that a former senior executive had propositioned female secretaries inviting them to submit to spanking sessions.
