Former British Broadcasting Corporation Consultants Face Members of Parliament's Inquiry After Assertions of Prejudice in Disclosed Memorandum
We begin with questions from Conservative lawmaker the committee chair, who leads the committee.
She opens by providing details to the disclosed document written by Michael Prescott and released in the Telegraph.
"I do not desire the BBC slanting in any particular direction, I just want it balanced, impartial and just," he states.
Upon being questioned if he considers the British Broadcasting Corporation is institutionally biased, he answers: "Absolutely not. Let's be clear, numerous aspects the BBC does is world class - both factual and entertainment programming."
But he adds: "There remains real work that needs to be done at the BBC."
The second ex-adviser BBC specialist interviewed by the group, Caroline Daniel, says she views the British Broadcasting Corporation with great importance and that it has a "persistent practice and lively discussion" on dynamic and complex topics.
"Was the BBC ready to have a genuine discussion and debate and implement changes?" she asks herself. "As I see it, yes they were."
