Ex- British Broadcasting Corporation Advisers Participate in Parliamentary Questioning In the Wake of Assertions of Partiality in Disclosed Memo

Previous BBC advisers appearing before MPs

We start with questions from Tory Member of Parliament Caroline Dinenage, who leads the committee.

She commences by offering details to the leaked document written by Michael Prescott and published in a national newspaper.

"It is not my wish for the BBC tilting toward one side or the other, I just want it straight, impartial and just," he declares.

When asked whether he believes the British Broadcasting Corporation is structurally prejudiced, Prescott responds: "Absolutely not. Let's be clear, a great deal the BBC creates is top-tier - both informative and non-factual content."

But he adds: "There exists real work that needs to be done at the British Broadcasting Corporation."

Another ex-adviser BBC specialist examined by the group, Caroline Daniel, remarks she regards the British Broadcasting Corporation very seriously and that it has a "continuous process and lively discussion" on evolving and intricate topics.

"Did the BBC ready to have a thorough dialogue and debate and implement changes?" she questions. "From my perspective, affirmative, they were."
