Five senior BBC figures, including its chairman, faced questions from MPs for more than three hours after a leaked memo raised claims of bias at the corporation.
It comes after BBC director general Tim Davie and BBC News chief Deborah Turness resigned earlier this month over a Panorama episode that edited together parts of a 2021 speech by US President Donald Trump.
That edit was highlighted in the memo, which was leaked and published by the Daily Telegraph. The memo's author Michael Prescott was among those facing MPs' questions on Monday.
Prescott appeared alongside Caroline Daniel, his fellow former external editorial adviser to the BBC, at the Culture, Media and Sport (CMS) committee. BBC chairman Samir Shah and fellow board members Sir Robbie Gibb and Caroline Thomson also appeared.
Prescott, a former Sunday Times political editor, was clear when asked if he thought there was institutional bias at the BBC.
