Media Museum: MP claims minister "regrets" causing alarm

Meeting in Parliament today, MPs David Ward, Philip Davies, Gerry Sutcliffe and George Galloway pressed Ed Vaizey, Minister for Culture, Communications and Creative Industries, and the director of the Science Museum Group, for answers regarding the future of the Media Museum.

“The meeting was very positive and very well attended by the local MPs which goes to show how important the museum is to the local area.

“The Minister said that the closure of the Museum was “unacceptable” and on pressing him he said that he regretted any alarm caused about concerns with any closure. Ian Blatchford said that he regretted that MPs were not contacted earlier in the process.

“The Museum is safe but there is much work to be done to implement a new plan to help put the museum on a more assured financial footing.

– David Ward, Bradford East MP
