Will Tories sanction the Russian-owned firm that created Downing Street TV studio?
The never-used government TV briefing room: it has seen some action with internal Downing Street meetings but let’s face it – the vacuum cleaner (that I clipped from this image) has seen more use.
This is well worth resurrecting:
It was alleged last year that the £2.6 million studio created for White House-style Downing Street TV briefings was kitted out by a Russian firm called Megahertz.
Work done by the company included installing computers, cameras, microphones and a control desk.
I seem to recall writing on This Site last year that we don’t know what software extras might have been built into this studio, for the benefit of very serious people in Moscow.
But the question for now is simply this:
Has full payment been made for this work? If not, will it be withheld?
And will the firm suffer sanctions and be denied future government work?
