We open with questions from Conservative lawmaker the committee chair, who chairs the committee.
She commences by offering context to the leaked memorandum written by Michael Prescott and published in a national newspaper.
"I do not desire the British Broadcasting Corporation leaning toward one side or the other, I just want it straight, impartial and equitable," he declares.
Upon being questioned if he believes the British Broadcasting Corporation is systematically partial, he replies: "No I don't. To be clear, numerous aspects the BBC produces is top-tier - both informative and fictional shows."
Nevertheless, he states: "There remains substantial tasks that needs to be done at the British Broadcasting Corporation."
A further ex-adviser British Broadcasting Corporation specialist interviewed by the group, Caroline Daniel, remarks she regards the British Broadcasting Corporation very seriously and that it has a "ongoing system and lively discussion" on fluid and multifaceted issues.
"Was the BBC ready to conduct a genuine conversation and debate and act accordingly?" she questions. "From my perspective, yes they were."
