Ex- British Broadcasting Corporation Advisers Undergo Members of Parliament's Grilling In the Wake of Assertions of Bias in Disclosed Document
We open with queries from Conservative lawmaker Caroline Dinenage, who oversees the panel.
She initiates by offering context to the disclosed memorandum written by Michael Prescott and released in the Telegraph.
"I don't want the BBC tilting in any particular direction, My only wish is for it balanced, impartial and just," he states.
When asked if he considers the BBC is structurally prejudiced, he answers: "No I don't. It is important to note, numerous aspects the BBC produces is world class - including documentary and fictional shows."
But he adds: "There remains real work that requires attention at the BBC."
The second former external British Broadcasting Corporation adviser examined by the panel, Caroline Daniel, states she views the BBC with great importance and that it operates a "continuous process and vigorous discourse" across fluid and multifaceted issues.
"Whether the BBC was ready to have a thorough dialogue and debate and implement changes?" she reflects. "In my view, yes they were."
