Ex- BBC Consultants Participate in Members of Parliament's Questioning Following Assertions of Partiality in Disclosed Document
We begin with questions from Tory Member of Parliament the committee chair, that oversees the group.
She commences by providing background to the unauthorized memorandum written by Michael Prescott and published in the Telegraph.
"I don't want the BBC leaning in any particular direction, I simply desire it balanced, fair and equitable," he declares.
In response to a query whether he thinks the BBC is institutionally biased, he responds: "No I don't. To be clear, tons of stuff the British Broadcasting Corporation produces is world class - both factual and entertainment content."
But he adds: "There exists substantial tasks that needs to be done at the BBC."
A further ex-adviser BBC adviser questioned by the panel, Caroline Daniel, remarks she takes the British Broadcasting Corporation with great importance and that it maintains a "continuous process and lively discussion" regarding dynamic and complex issues.
"Did the BBC prepared to conduct a genuine dialogue and exchange and take action?" she asks herself. "From my perspective, yes they were."
