Previous British Broadcasting Corporation Advisers Face Parliamentary Grilling After Allegations of Prejudice in Leaked Document
We open with inquiries from Conservative MP Caroline Dinenage, who chairs the committee.
She initiates by offering details to the disclosed memo written by Michael Prescott and printed in the Telegraph.
"It is not my wish for the British Broadcasting Corporation slanting in any particular direction, I simply desire it straight, fair and equitable," he states.
When asked whether he thinks the British Broadcasting Corporation is structurally prejudiced, Prescott replies: "No I don't. Let's be clear, a great deal the British Broadcasting Corporation creates is exceptional - both informative and fictional content."
Nevertheless, he states: "There is substantial tasks that must be undertaken at the BBC."
Another ex-adviser British Broadcasting Corporation adviser questioned by the panel, Caroline Daniel, says she regards the BBC very seriously and that it maintains a "continuous process and active debate" across fluid and multifaceted topics.
"Was the BBC prepared to have a thorough conversation and debate and act accordingly?" she reflects. "From my perspective, indeed, they were."
