Ex- British Broadcasting Corporation Specialists Undergo MPs' Inquiry In the Wake of Claims of Bias in Leaked Document
We begin with queries from Conservative MP Caroline Dinenage, who leads the panel.
She commences by giving context to the disclosed memorandum authored by Michael Prescott and released in the Telegraph.
"I don't want the BBC slanting this way or that way, I simply desire it straight, unbiased and just," he says.
In response to a query whether he believes the British Broadcasting Corporation is systematically partial, the adviser replies: "Absolutely not. Let's be clear, numerous aspects the BBC creates is world class - including documentary and non-factual programming."
Nevertheless, he states: "There is real work that requires attention at the BBC."
The second ex-adviser British Broadcasting Corporation consultant questioned by the group, Caroline Daniel, remarks she takes the British Broadcasting Corporation very seriously and that it maintains a "continuous process and vigorous discourse" across dynamic and complex topics.
"Whether the BBC was ready to engage in a genuine conversation and debate and act accordingly?" she reflects. "In my view, affirmative, they were."
