Previous British Broadcasting Corporation Consultants Participate in Members of Parliament's Questioning Following Claims of Bias in Leaked Memo
We open with queries from Conservative lawmaker the committee chair, that chairs the committee.
She initiates by giving context to the disclosed memorandum written by Michael Prescott and published in a daily publication.
"It is not my wish for the British Broadcasting Corporation tilting this way or that way, I just want it balanced, unbiased and just," he states.
In response to a query whether he considers the British Broadcasting Corporation is structurally prejudiced, he replies: "Absolutely not. To be clear, numerous aspects the British Broadcasting Corporation does is top-tier - both documentary and entertainment shows."
But he adds: "There remains real work that needs to be done at the British Broadcasting Corporation."
The second ex-adviser British Broadcasting Corporation specialist interviewed by the committee, Caroline Daniel, remarks she views the British Broadcasting Corporation extremely earnestly and that it maintains a "continuous process and lively discussion" across fluid and multifaceted issues.
"Whether the BBC was ready to have a genuine conversation and exchange and act accordingly?" she questions. "In my view, indeed, they were."
