BBC suspends 5, may face fraud inquiry
 Five senior BBC production staff were suspended yesterday as Britain's most senior policeman raised the prospect of a criminal investigation into the corporation's rigging of phone-in competitions.The staff, all senior producers or editors, were the first casualties of the row over viewer deceptions involving a series of flagship charity and children's shows. A fraud inquiry now seems inevitable after Mark Pritchard, the Tory MP for The Wrekin, wrote to Scotland Yard to demand action.
