Former British Broadcasting Corporation Advisers Participate in Members of Parliament's Grilling In the Wake of Allegations of Partiality in Disclosed Memo
We open with queries from Conservative MP the committee chair, who oversees the group.
She opens by providing background to the leaked memo prepared by Michael Prescott and published in a daily publication.
"I do not desire the BBC tilting in any particular direction, I just want it neutral, fair and equitable," he declares.
Upon being questioned if he believes the British Broadcasting Corporation is systematically partial, Prescott answers: "No, I do not. It is important to note, numerous aspects the British Broadcasting Corporation creates is top-tier - encompassing documentary and non-factual shows."
But he adds: "There exists real work that needs to be done at the BBC."
Another previous consultant British Broadcasting Corporation adviser examined by the panel, Caroline Daniel, remarks she views the British Broadcasting Corporation very seriously and that it operates a "persistent practice and active debate" across dynamic and complex issues.
"Did the BBC prepared to conduct a thorough discussion and exchange and act accordingly?" she questions. "In my view, yes they were."
