ALEXANDRA PALACE AND THE BBC

That this House notes with concern the lack of provision for the protection of the original television studios at Alexandra Palace contained in the lease for the sale of the palace by Haringay Council; recognises the heritage of the studios as the site of the world's first public television broadcast and the birthplace of the BBC's television service; believes that this heritage should be properly preserved and conserved, with sensitive re-use, as part of national and international history; and urges the Government to take steps to ensure the continued existence of the original studios in any regeneration initiatives that might take place at Alexandra Palace.
