Former BBC Consultants Undergo Members of Parliament's Questioning After Allegations of Partiality in Disclosed Memo
We begin with queries from Conservative MP the panel's head, that oversees the committee.
She opens by providing background to the disclosed memorandum authored by Michael Prescott and published in a national newspaper.
"It is not my wish for the British Broadcasting Corporation leaning toward one side or the other, My only wish is for it straight, fair and just," he says.
In response to a query whether he considers the British Broadcasting Corporation is structurally prejudiced, he answers: "No I don't. It is important to note, numerous aspects the BBC creates is world class - encompassing factual and fictional content."
Nevertheless, he states: "There exists real work that requires attention at the British Broadcasting Corporation."
A further ex-adviser British Broadcasting Corporation specialist examined by the group, Caroline Daniel, states she views the BBC very seriously and that it operates a "continuous process and vigorous discourse" regarding dynamic and complex topics.
"Whether the BBC was willing to engage in a proper conversation and argument and implement changes?" she questions. "From my perspective, affirmative, they were."
