Ex- BBC Specialists Undergo Members of Parliament's Questioning In the Wake of Allegations of Partiality in Disclosed Document
We begin with queries from Conservative lawmaker the committee chair, who chairs the committee.
She initiates by giving background to the unauthorized document authored by Michael Prescott and printed in the Telegraph.
"I do not desire the BBC tilting toward one side or the other, I just want it balanced, impartial and fair," he states.
When asked whether he thinks the British Broadcasting Corporation is institutionally biased, he replies: "No I don't. To be clear, tons of stuff the British Broadcasting Corporation does is world class - both documentary and non-factual shows."
Nevertheless, he states: "There remains significant effort that requires attention at the British Broadcasting Corporation."
The second ex-adviser British Broadcasting Corporation adviser interviewed by the committee, Caroline Daniel, states she regards the British Broadcasting Corporation with great importance and that it maintains a "continuous process and active debate" across evolving and intricate issues.
"Did the BBC willing to have a thorough discussion and debate and take action?" she asks herself. "As I see it, indeed, they were."
