Former BBC director general George Entwistle was only prepared to resign for the £450,000 pay-off he would have received if sacked, MPs have been told.

To add to the £185k paid by the BBC.
I must say it's very refreshing to learn that Lord McAlpine intends to donate all such settlements to charity in the form of Children in Need so some good will come out of this.
