We open with questions from Conservative MP the panel's head, who chairs the panel.
She initiates by providing background to the unauthorized document written by Michael Prescott and published in a daily publication.
"It is not my wish for the British Broadcasting Corporation tilting in any particular direction, I just want it neutral, unbiased and just," he says.
Upon being questioned if he considers the British Broadcasting Corporation is institutionally biased, the adviser responds: "Absolutely not. It is important to note, numerous aspects the BBC produces is exceptional - encompassing documentary and entertainment shows."
Nevertheless, he states: "There remains substantial tasks that requires attention at the British Broadcasting Corporation."
A further previous consultant BBC adviser questioned by the committee, Caroline Daniel, states she regards the British Broadcasting Corporation with great importance and that it has a "ongoing system and vigorous discourse" regarding fluid and multifaceted subjects.
"Whether the BBC was ready to engage in a genuine dialogue and exchange and act accordingly?" she asks herself. "In my view, indeed, they were."
