Former British Broadcasting Corporation Consultants Participate in Parliamentary Questioning Following Assertions of Bias in Leaked Memorandum
We begin with questions from Conservative lawmaker the panel's head, that leads the group.
She opens by offering background to the leaked document authored by Michael Prescott and published in a national newspaper.
"It is not my wish for the BBC leaning toward one side or the other, I just want it neutral, fair and fair," he states.
In response to a query if he thinks the BBC is institutionally biased, he answers: "No, I do not. Let's be clear, numerous aspects the British Broadcasting Corporation does is world class - encompassing documentary and non-factual content."
But he adds: "There remains substantial tasks that must be undertaken at the British Broadcasting Corporation."
Another ex-adviser British Broadcasting Corporation specialist interviewed by the committee, Caroline Daniel, remarks she takes the BBC very seriously and that it has a "continuous process and lively discussion" across evolving and intricate topics.
"Was the BBC ready to engage in a proper discussion and debate and take action?" she questions. "As I see it, indeed, they were."
