Former BBC consultants testifying before Members of Parliament

We open with queries from Conservative lawmaker the committee chair, that chairs the group.

She commences by providing details to the unauthorized document written by Michael Prescott and published in the Telegraph.

"I do not desire the British Broadcasting Corporation slanting in any particular direction, My only wish is for it neutral, impartial and equitable," he says.

Upon being questioned if he considers the British Broadcasting Corporation is structurally prejudiced, Prescott responds: "No, I do not. Let's be clear, a great deal the British Broadcasting Corporation does is world class - encompassing informative and fictional programming."

But he adds: "There exists real work that requires attention at the BBC."

A further ex-adviser BBC specialist interviewed by the panel, Caroline Daniel, says she takes the British Broadcasting Corporation extremely earnestly and that it operates a "continuous process and vigorous discourse" on evolving and intricate issues.

"Did the BBC prepared to engage in a genuine conversation and debate and take action?" she reflects. "As I see it, affirmative, they were."
