Ex- British Broadcasting Corporation Consultants Undergo Members of Parliament's Questioning After Assertions of Partiality in Leaked Memo
We start with questions from Conservative MP Caroline Dinenage, who leads the committee.
She opens by offering background to the disclosed memo written by Michael Prescott and published in a national newspaper.
"I do not desire the BBC slanting toward one side or the other, My only wish is for it neutral, unbiased and just," he declares.
In response to a query whether he thinks the BBC is structurally prejudiced, the adviser replies: "No I don't. It is important to note, numerous aspects the British Broadcasting Corporation produces is world class - encompassing informative and fictional content."
But he adds: "There remains substantial tasks that must be undertaken at the BBC."
The second ex-adviser British Broadcasting Corporation specialist questioned by the committee, Caroline Daniel, remarks she takes the British Broadcasting Corporation extremely earnestly and that it has a "continuous process and active debate" across evolving and intricate topics.
"Did the BBC willing to conduct a thorough discussion and debate and act accordingly?" she asks herself. "As I see it, affirmative, they were."
