Former British Broadcasting Corporation Consultants Participate in MPs' Questioning Following Assertions of Bias in Disclosed Memo
We begin with queries from Conservative lawmaker the panel's head, that oversees the group.
She commences by offering background to the leaked document authored by Michael Prescott and published in a national newspaper.
"I do not desire the British Broadcasting Corporation tilting in any particular direction, My only wish is for it neutral, unbiased and just," he says.
In response to a query whether he thinks the British Broadcasting Corporation is structurally prejudiced, Prescott answers: "No, I do not. To be clear, tons of stuff the British Broadcasting Corporation produces is top-tier - encompassing documentary and non-factual programming."
However, he continues: "There is real work that must be undertaken at the BBC."
Another former external BBC consultant interviewed by the group, Caroline Daniel, remarks she regards the BBC with great importance and that it maintains a "continuous process and lively discussion" regarding evolving and intricate issues.
"Did the BBC ready to engage in a thorough discussion and exchange and take action?" she questions. "As I see it, indeed, they were."
