We open with inquiries from Tory Member of Parliament the committee chair, that leads the committee.
She commences by offering details to the unauthorized document prepared by Michael Prescott and published in the Telegraph.
"I don't want the BBC slanting this way or that way, My only wish is for it straight, unbiased and fair," he states.
In response to a query if he considers the British Broadcasting Corporation is institutionally biased, Prescott answers: "No I don't. To be clear, numerous aspects the BBC creates is top-tier - encompassing factual and non-factual content."
However, he continues: "There remains substantial tasks that requires attention at the BBC."
The second previous consultant BBC specialist questioned by the group, Caroline Daniel, says she views the BBC extremely earnestly and that it maintains a "continuous process and lively discussion" across evolving and intricate subjects.
"Was the BBC willing to have a genuine conversation and debate and implement changes?" she questions. "In my view, yes they were."
