Previous British Broadcasting Corporation Specialists Participate in Parliamentary Questioning Following Allegations of Bias in Unauthorized Memorandum
We open with questions from Conservative MP Caroline Dinenage, that chairs the group.
She opens by offering background to the disclosed memorandum written by Michael Prescott and released in the Telegraph.
"I do not desire the British Broadcasting Corporation leaning in any particular direction, My only wish is for it straight, fair and equitable," he states.
Upon being questioned if he considers the British Broadcasting Corporation is systematically partial, the adviser replies: "No I don't. It is important to note, a great deal the British Broadcasting Corporation produces is world class - encompassing factual and fictional programming."
But he adds: "There is real work that needs to be done at the British Broadcasting Corporation."
Another former external BBC specialist interviewed by the group, Caroline Daniel, states she takes the British Broadcasting Corporation very seriously and that it maintains a "ongoing system and active debate" across fluid and multifaceted topics.
"Was the BBC prepared to conduct a thorough conversation and debate and take action?" she questions. "In my view, indeed, they were."
