Previous British Broadcasting Corporation Consultants Face Members of Parliament's Questioning In the Wake of Allegations of Prejudice in Leaked Memo
We open with inquiries from Conservative lawmaker Caroline Dinenage, who chairs the panel.
She commences by providing background to the disclosed document authored by Michael Prescott and released in a daily publication.
"It is not my wish for the British Broadcasting Corporation leaning toward one side or the other, My only wish is for it neutral, unbiased and just," he says.
Upon being questioned if he thinks the British Broadcasting Corporation is systematically partial, Prescott answers: "No I don't. Let's be clear, tons of stuff the British Broadcasting Corporation produces is world class - encompassing informative and entertainment content."
However, he continues: "There exists substantial tasks that requires attention at the BBC."
The second former external British Broadcasting Corporation adviser interviewed by the committee, Caroline Daniel, states she views the British Broadcasting Corporation very seriously and that it has a "ongoing system and active debate" on evolving and intricate topics.
"Was the BBC prepared to have a thorough discussion and debate and take action?" she asks herself. "In my view, affirmative, they were."
