Former BBC Advisers Face Members of Parliament's Grilling Following Claims of Partiality in Disclosed Memo
We begin with queries from Conservative MP Caroline Dinenage, who leads the group.
She opens by offering context to the leaked document authored by Michael Prescott and printed in the Telegraph.
"I do not desire the British Broadcasting Corporation slanting in any particular direction, I just want it neutral, impartial and equitable," he states.
Upon being questioned whether he considers the British Broadcasting Corporation is institutionally biased, he answers: "No, I do not. It is important to note, a great deal the British Broadcasting Corporation produces is exceptional - both factual and non-factual programming."
But he adds: "There remains real work that must be undertaken at the BBC."
Another former external British Broadcasting Corporation specialist questioned by the group, Caroline Daniel, states she regards the British Broadcasting Corporation with great importance and that it has a "continuous process and lively discussion" across evolving and intricate topics.
"Was the BBC willing to have a genuine conversation and exchange and implement changes?" she asks herself. "In my view, yes they were."
