We begin with inquiries from Conservative MP Caroline Dinenage, who leads the group.
She opens by providing context to the disclosed memo prepared by Michael Prescott and printed in the Telegraph.
"It is not my wish for the BBC slanting this way or that way, I simply desire it neutral, impartial and equitable," he states.
Upon being questioned if he considers the British Broadcasting Corporation is institutionally biased, he answers: "No I don't. Let's be clear, a great deal the British Broadcasting Corporation does is top-tier - encompassing informative and fictional shows."
Nevertheless, he states: "There exists substantial tasks that requires attention at the British Broadcasting Corporation."
The second former external British Broadcasting Corporation specialist interviewed by the committee, Caroline Daniel, says she takes the British Broadcasting Corporation very seriously and that it maintains a "continuous process and lively discussion" regarding evolving and intricate topics.
"Was the BBC ready to engage in a thorough conversation and exchange and take action?" she asks herself. "In my view, affirmative, they were."
