Former British Broadcasting Corporation Specialists Participate in Members of Parliament's Inquiry After Assertions of Bias in Leaked Document
We begin with queries from Tory Member of Parliament Caroline Dinenage, who leads the committee.
She commences by giving context to the unauthorized document written by Michael Prescott and published in a daily publication.
"I do not desire the BBC tilting in any particular direction, I simply desire it straight, impartial and fair," he states.
In response to a query if he thinks the BBC is structurally prejudiced, he replies: "No I don't. Let's be clear, numerous aspects the British Broadcasting Corporation does is exceptional - including documentary and non-factual shows."
But he adds: "There exists significant effort that must be undertaken at the BBC."
The second ex-adviser BBC specialist interviewed by the committee, Caroline Daniel, remarks she takes the British Broadcasting Corporation with great importance and that it has a "continuous process and lively discussion" on evolving and intricate subjects.
"Whether the BBC was ready to have a thorough discussion and argument and implement changes?" she questions. "From my perspective, affirmative, they were."
