Former British Broadcasting Corporation Consultants Participate in Parliamentary Questioning Following Assertions of Prejudice in Unauthorized Memo
We begin with questions from Conservative lawmaker Caroline Dinenage, that chairs the panel.
She initiates by offering details to the disclosed memo prepared by Michael Prescott and released in the Telegraph.
"I do not desire the British Broadcasting Corporation leaning this way or that way, I simply desire it straight, impartial and fair," he says.
Upon being questioned if he thinks the British Broadcasting Corporation is structurally prejudiced, Prescott replies: "No I don't. To be clear, a great deal the British Broadcasting Corporation does is exceptional - both factual and entertainment programming."
However, he continues: "There exists real work that must be undertaken at the BBC."
A further previous consultant British Broadcasting Corporation consultant questioned by the group, Caroline Daniel, states she views the BBC very seriously and that it has a "continuous process and vigorous discourse" across fluid and multifaceted subjects.
"Whether the BBC was ready to have a proper conversation and exchange and take action?" she questions. "As I see it, yes they were."
