Former British Broadcasting Corporation Specialists Undergo Members of Parliament's Grilling In the Wake of Allegations of Partiality in Leaked Document

We start with inquiries from Tory Member of Parliament Caroline Dinenage, that chairs the committee.

She initiates by offering background to the disclosed memo authored by Michael Prescott and published in a daily publication.

"It is not my wish for the British Broadcasting Corporation tilting in any particular direction, I simply desire it balanced, fair and just," he says.

In response to a query if he considers the British Broadcasting Corporation is systematically partial, he responds: "No I don't. Let's be clear, tons of stuff the BBC produces is world class - encompassing informative and entertainment shows."

But he adds: "There remains substantial tasks that needs to be done at the BBC."

A further previous consultant BBC adviser interviewed by the committee, Caroline Daniel, says she takes the BBC with great importance and that it operates a "ongoing system and lively discussion" across evolving and intricate subjects.

"Was the BBC willing to engage in a proper discussion and argument and implement changes?" she questions. "From my perspective, indeed, they were."
