The session with the the Conservative 1922 Committee was arranged in July as part of regular discussions with parliamentarians, the corporation said.
BBC director-general Tim Davie has addressed Tory MPs amid a row about the corporation’s coverage of the conflict in the Middle East.
One MP present said there had been “disagreement with the DG about Hamas being a terrorist organisation and the ability to say so” at the talks, held behind closed doors.However, it has moved away from labelling the group “militants” and is instead describing it as a proscribed terrorist organisation by the UK Government and others.
Tory Natalie Elphicke was among MPs to question Mr Davie on the BBC’s coverage of small boat crossings, to which he responded that a review had been commissioned, it is understood. The BBC also said the “correspondent was giving instant analysis on the ground from Jerusalem in what was a confusing and difficult story” and “did not at any point report that it was an Israeli strike”.
