Previous BBC Specialists Participate in Members of Parliament's Grilling Following Claims of Prejudice in Leaked Memo
We start with inquiries from Tory Member of Parliament Caroline Dinenage, that leads the group.
She opens by offering context to the disclosed memo authored by Michael Prescott and printed in a national newspaper.
"It is not my wish for the British Broadcasting Corporation tilting this way or that way, I just want it balanced, unbiased and equitable," he declares.
Upon being questioned whether he considers the BBC is structurally prejudiced, he answers: "Absolutely not. To be clear, tons of stuff the British Broadcasting Corporation does is top-tier - both factual and fictional content."
But he adds: "There is significant effort that needs to be done at the BBC."
A further previous consultant BBC consultant interviewed by the group, Caroline Daniel, remarks she takes the BBC extremely earnestly and that it has a "continuous process and active debate" across fluid and multifaceted topics.
"Did the BBC ready to engage in a thorough dialogue and debate and implement changes?" she asks herself. "In my view, affirmative, they were."
