A TV news interviewer got a less than favourable response to a question when the head of housebuilders Persimmon walked off camera when asked about his controversial £75 million bonus for the year.
BBC Look North’s Spencer Stokes was interviewing Jeff Fairburn about a new brick factory the firm has opened, when a company representative offscreen objected to his line of questioning and Mr Fairburn then walked away.
Mr Fairburn’s pay packet sparked outrage among politicians and shareholders earlier in the year and what was originally to be a £100 million payout was reduced after he voluntarily handed back £25 million.
