Commons Culture Select Committee, George Entwistle

Did my ears deceive me?

I could swear I heard one of the MPs (Paul Farrelly, MP, Labour, Newcastle-under-Lyme) from the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee say to the BBC's DG that something related to the Jimmy Savile case should have been obvious even to a "one-eyed Albanian".

I suggest that the House of Commons Select Committee itself needs to be cross-examined on a matter of its own corporate culture and attitudes.

I'm sure I was not the only one 'taking evidence'. I wonder if Hansard will transcribe and publish the comment verbatim.
