ANNIVERSARY OF JOHN LOGIE BAIRD'S TV DEMONSTRATION (EDM186)

ANNIVERSARY OF JOHN LOGIE BAIRD'S TV DEMONSTRATION

EDM number 186 in 2000-01, proposed by Ray Michie on 11/01/2001.

That this House notes the achievements of Scotsman, John Logie Baird, who in January 1926 presented the first demonstration of 'true' television to the Royal Society at Alexandra Palace in North London; notes that his experiments created the world's first high definition regular broadcasting service which was soon expanded to all parts of the UK; and believes that some form of fitting memorial should be erected in his honour at the old BBC studios at Alexandra Palace or in Scotland.

This motion has been signed by a total of 47 MPs.
