Ex- British Broadcasting Corporation Consultants Participate in Parliamentary Grilling In the Wake of Allegations of Prejudice in Disclosed Memorandum

Previous BBC advisers testifying at parliamentary committee

We start with inquiries from Tory Member of Parliament the panel's head, that oversees the panel.

She commences by offering background to the unauthorized memorandum written by Michael Prescott and printed in the Telegraph.

"I don't want the BBC tilting in any particular direction, I just want it balanced, fair and equitable," he states.

In response to a query if he thinks the British Broadcasting Corporation is systematically partial, the adviser replies: "No I don't. To be clear, tons of stuff the BBC does is top-tier - encompassing informative and entertainment programming."

Nevertheless, he states: "There exists real work that must be undertaken at the British Broadcasting Corporation."

A further ex-adviser BBC adviser examined by the group, Caroline Daniel, states she takes the British Broadcasting Corporation very seriously and that it operates a "persistent practice and vigorous discourse" across evolving and intricate topics.

"Whether the BBC was willing to conduct a proper dialogue and argument and act accordingly?" she reflects. "In my view, affirmative, they were."
