The corporation is set to publish expenses claims after accusations that public funds are being wasted.

But some of the most sensitive information is likely to be removed due to a clause in the Freedom of Information Act allowing details related to its "journalism, art or literature" to be secret.

Last week there was a public backlash after details of MPs' expenses were blacked out and a BBC source expects a similar response.

He said some claims would total more than £1,000 a month on lunches, five-star hotels and entertainment.

Vince Cable, the Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesman, said: "It's just not good enough. We are moving towards transparency in relation to people who are paid from the public purse.

"It was right that MPs were forced to do so. I do not see why the same discipline should not apply."
