Former British Broadcasting Corporation Advisers Participate in Parliamentary Inquiry Following Assertions of Bias in Leaked Memo
We start with questions from Tory Member of Parliament the panel's head, who chairs the group.
She opens by offering context to the unauthorized memorandum prepared by Michael Prescott and released in the Telegraph.
"It is not my wish for the British Broadcasting Corporation slanting toward one side or the other, I just want it straight, fair and fair," he declares.
When asked whether he thinks the British Broadcasting Corporation is structurally prejudiced, he responds: "No I don't. To be clear, tons of stuff the British Broadcasting Corporation does is world class - both documentary and entertainment programming."
But he adds: "There exists real work that needs to be done at the BBC."
A further previous consultant British Broadcasting Corporation consultant examined by the group, Caroline Daniel, says she takes the BBC extremely earnestly and that it has a "continuous process and active debate" across dynamic and complex subjects.
"Did the BBC ready to engage in a proper conversation and debate and take action?" she questions. "In my view, affirmative, they were."
