A committee of MPs have written to the chairman of the BBC demanding information about
the way a speech by Donald Trump was edited in an episode of Panorama.

Dame Caroline Dinenage, chairwoman of the Culture, Media and Sport Committee, said
that the corporation faces "serious questions to answer" following allegations that viewers
were misled.

Dame Caroline, who signed the letter on behalf of the committee, said: “The
BBC clearly has serious questions to answer regarding both its editorial
standards and the way in which concerns are handled by senior
management.

“The corporation must set the benchmark for accurate and fair reporting,
especially in a media landscape where it is all too easy to find news
presented in a less than impartial way.

“The committee needs to be reassured that those at the very top of the BBC
are treating these issues with the seriousness they deserve and taking
decisive steps to uphold the corporation’s reputation for integrity and public
trust.”
