Former BBC Advisers Face Members of Parliament's Questioning In the Wake of Allegations of Partiality in Unauthorized Document
We start with questions from Conservative lawmaker Caroline Dinenage, who oversees the group.
She opens by providing context to the unauthorized document prepared by Michael Prescott and printed in a daily publication.
"I do not desire the British Broadcasting Corporation slanting in any particular direction, I simply desire it neutral, impartial and just," he declares.
In response to a query whether he considers the British Broadcasting Corporation is systematically partial, the adviser answers: "Absolutely not. Let's be clear, a great deal the British Broadcasting Corporation produces is top-tier - including factual and entertainment programming."
But he adds: "There exists substantial tasks that requires attention at the BBC."
The second ex-adviser BBC adviser examined by the committee, Caroline Daniel, states she regards the BBC very seriously and that it operates a "ongoing system and lively discussion" across dynamic and complex issues.
"Was the BBC ready to have a thorough conversation and debate and act accordingly?" she asks herself. "In my view, yes they were."
