Ex- British Broadcasting Corporation Advisers Participate in Members of Parliament's Questioning In the Wake of Allegations of Prejudice in Disclosed Memorandum
We begin with queries from Tory Member of Parliament the committee chair, who leads the committee.
She initiates by offering background to the leaked document authored by Michael Prescott and published in the Telegraph.
"I don't want the British Broadcasting Corporation slanting toward one side or the other, I just want it straight, unbiased and fair," he declares.
In response to a query whether he thinks the British Broadcasting Corporation is institutionally biased, he responds: "No I don't. Let's be clear, a great deal the BBC does is exceptional - both documentary and non-factual shows."
Nevertheless, he states: "There exists substantial tasks that needs to be done at the British Broadcasting Corporation."
The second ex-adviser British Broadcasting Corporation specialist interviewed by the panel, Caroline Daniel, says she views the BBC extremely earnestly and that it operates a "ongoing system and lively discussion" regarding evolving and intricate issues.
"Was the BBC ready to conduct a thorough conversation and exchange and take action?" she questions. "In my view, yes they were."
