Tories slam BBC for paying Tony Martin's burglar

A Conservative MP has criticised the BBC for paying one of the men who burgled the Norfolk farmer, Tony Martin, to appear in a programme.

Henry Bellingham, the Tory MP for North West Norfolk, accused the corporation of showing "extraordinary insensitivity" for paying Brendan Fearon £4,000 to appear in a docu-drama.
