 Mr Norman Tjbbit has djnjed that his   
 complaints about BBC coverage of the   
 Libyan bombings were designed to       
 intimidate the Corporation.

 dismissed a suggestion bz Labour's Mr  
 David Winnick that the attack was an   
 attempt to "soften up" the BBC in the  
 run-up to the next general election.

 the BBC to maintain the standards      
 expected of it.
