Leeds Beckett hosts lively Question Time
The BBC’s flagship current affairs programme was filmed in the Great Hall in our James Graham building, just hours before being broadcast.
Issues hotly debated included Brexit, transgender rights and Russia. Hosted by David Dimbleby, the special edition of the programme featured an audience of under 30s only.
