đź”— Share this article Former British Broadcasting Corporation Advisers Undergo Parliamentary Questioning After Assertions of Partiality in Disclosed Document We begin with queries from Conservative lawmaker Caroline Dinenage, that chairs the committee. She initiates by providing background to the unauthorized memorandum authored by Michael Prescott and published in the Telegraph. "It is not my wish for the British Broadcasting Corporation slanting toward one side or the other, I simply desire it balanced, impartial and equitable," he says. In response to a query if he thinks the British Broadcasting Corporation is institutionally biased, the adviser responds: "No, I do not. To be clear, a great deal the British Broadcasting Corporation produces is exceptional - encompassing informative and non-factual programming." Nevertheless, he states: "There remains substantial tasks that needs to be done at the British Broadcasting Corporation." Another former external British Broadcasting Corporation adviser interviewed by the committee, Caroline Daniel, says she views the BBC very seriously and that it has a "ongoing system and active debate" on evolving and intricate subjects. "Was the BBC willing to conduct a thorough discussion and exchange and take action?" she questions. "In my view, yes they were."
