MR KILROY-SILK AND PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS OF CONDUCT AT THE BBC

That this House believes that the BBC, as public service broadcasters, must insist on the highest standards of professional conduct from those who make programmes for them; calls on the governors of the BBC, in the light of revelations in a national newspaper on 10th December concerning the behaviour of Mr Robert Kilroy-Silk, to draw up a code of conduct to protect young women who appear as guests on their programmes from cheap sexual advances; and believes that the BBC should insist that independent producers who make programmes for them should also adhere to the code.
