Ex- British Broadcasting Corporation Consultants Undergo MPs' Grilling In the Wake of Assertions of Partiality in Leaked Document
We start with questions from Conservative MP the committee chair, that oversees the group.
She opens by offering details to the leaked memo written by Michael Prescott and released in a daily publication.
"It is not my wish for the British Broadcasting Corporation slanting in any particular direction, I just want it straight, impartial and fair," he states.
When asked whether he thinks the British Broadcasting Corporation is structurally prejudiced, the adviser responds: "No, I do not. It is important to note, a great deal the British Broadcasting Corporation creates is top-tier - both documentary and fictional content."
However, he continues: "There exists real work that requires attention at the BBC."
A further former external British Broadcasting Corporation specialist examined by the committee, Caroline Daniel, remarks she takes the British Broadcasting Corporation extremely earnestly and that it operates a "continuous process and active debate" regarding dynamic and complex issues.
"Whether the BBC was prepared to have a thorough discussion and argument and take action?" she asks herself. "As I see it, yes they were."
