We open with questions from Conservative lawmaker the panel's head, that oversees the panel.
She initiates by offering background to the disclosed memo prepared by Michael Prescott and published in the Telegraph.
"I do not desire the BBC leaning toward one side or the other, I simply desire it balanced, fair and equitable," he says.

Nevertheless, he states: "There remains significant effort that must be undertaken at the British Broadcasting Corporation."
Another ex-adviser British Broadcasting Corporation adviser questioned by the committee, Caroline Daniel, says she views the British Broadcasting Corporation extremely earnestly and that it has a "persistent practice and lively discussion" across dynamic and complex issues.
"Did the BBC ready to engage in a thorough dialogue and argument and act accordingly?" she reflects. "From my perspective, affirmative, they were."
