In February 2009, Robert Peston was one of five business journalists questioned by the government's Treasury Select Committee about how far the media affected, as well as reported upon, the current financial crisis.

Robert Peston joined BBC Tees' John Foster and Keith Hunter, Managing Director of TTE Technical Training Group for the debate.
