Ex- BBC Advisers Undergo Members of Parliament's Inquiry After Allegations of Prejudice in Disclosed Document
We start with questions from Tory Member of Parliament Caroline Dinenage, that oversees the committee.
She initiates by providing details to the unauthorized document written by Michael Prescott and released in a national newspaper.
"I do not desire the BBC slanting toward one side or the other, My only wish is for it balanced, fair and just," he declares.
In response to a query whether he believes the BBC is institutionally biased, Prescott answers: "Absolutely not. Let's be clear, a great deal the British Broadcasting Corporation creates is world class - encompassing documentary and entertainment programming."
However, he continues: "There remains real work that needs to be done at the BBC."
Another previous consultant British Broadcasting Corporation consultant questioned by the group, Caroline Daniel, says she takes the British Broadcasting Corporation extremely earnestly and that it maintains a "ongoing system and lively discussion" regarding evolving and intricate topics.
"Whether the BBC was prepared to engage in a thorough dialogue and debate and implement changes?" she reflects. "From my perspective, affirmative, they were."
