🔗 Share this article Former BBC Consultants Face Parliamentary Questioning In the Wake of Assertions of Prejudice in Disclosed Document We start with queries from Conservative MP the committee chair, that chairs the committee. She initiates by giving details to the leaked memo written 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 balanced, fair and fair," he declares. When asked whether he believes the British Broadcasting Corporation is systematically partial, Prescott replies: "Absolutely not. To be clear, a great deal the BBC produces is world class - including documentary and fictional content." However, he continues: "There remains significant effort that must be undertaken at the British Broadcasting Corporation." Another former external British Broadcasting Corporation specialist interviewed by the panel, Caroline Daniel, states she views the British Broadcasting Corporation extremely earnestly and that it maintains a "persistent practice and active debate" across dynamic and complex subjects. "Whether the BBC was willing to conduct a thorough dialogue and argument and implement changes?" she asks herself. "From my perspective, yes they were."
