BBC Chair Says “Nothing To Suggest” Prescott Memo Leak Came From Within The Corporation

BBC chair Samir Shah Getty The BBC does not believe the leaked Michael Prescott memo that brought down the Director General and news chief came from one of its staff. BBC Chair Samir Shah revealed the news via an “update on our leak investigations” in a letter to Culture Committee Chair Caroline Dinenage today. “We have completed extensive electronic searches and analysis in relation to the Prescott memo,” wrote Shah.

Key Highlights

  • “There is nothing to suggest from those searches that the leak to The Telegraph came from the BBC.” Shah appeared to be choosing his language carefully and did not say that the leak unequivocally came from outside of the corporation.
  • Appearing in front of the same committee two weeks ago, Prescott was forced to deny several times that he had leaked the memo to the Telegraph, although he noted that he sent the memo to the UK regulator Ofcom and to the UK’s Culture, Media & Sport department.
