BBC IN BRADFORD

Early day motion 784, tabled 27 November 2012 by Gerry Sutcliffe (Labour). Signed by 23 members.

That this House notes the decision of the BBC to close its multi-broadcast studio located in the National Media Museum in Bradford; recognises the importance of this facility in covering local news across television, radio and the internet; further recognises the important role the studio plays as part of the visitor experience at the National Media Museum; expresses concern that this will leave Bradford as the largest city in the country not served directly by the BBC; and calls on the BBC to reverse its decision and retain a multi-broadcast studio in Bradford, based at the National Media Museum.
