Former British Broadcasting Corporation Specialists Undergo Members of Parliament's Grilling In the Wake of Claims of Prejudice in Disclosed Memo

We open with inquiries from Conservative MP the committee chair, that leads the group.

She opens by providing background to the disclosed document authored by Michael Prescott and published in the Telegraph.

"I don't want the BBC tilting this way or that way, I simply desire it straight, impartial and fair," he declares.

When asked if he thinks the BBC is systematically partial, Prescott responds: "No, I do not. It is important to note, a great deal the British Broadcasting Corporation creates is top-tier - encompassing factual and entertainment programming."

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

A further previous consultant BBC adviser examined by the panel, Caroline Daniel, says she views the BBC very seriously and that it has a "persistent practice and active debate" on fluid and multifaceted subjects.

"Was the BBC ready to have a thorough discussion and argument and take action?" she reflects. "As I see it, yes they were."
