Plans to transform Alexandra Palace into a visitor attraction have been approved.

The £28m regeneration will centre on the eastern end of the building, bringing its theatre and a former TV studio space back into use.
Haringey Council approved the proposals on Monday saying they would "preserve this landmark for generations to come".
However, critics have said the plans would destroy the essence of the Muswell Hill landmark.
About £16m has been provisionally secured from Heritage Lottery Funding for the restoration, the council said.
Haringey Council Leader Claire Kober said: "Alexandra Palace has become a hugely successful venue, but with parts of the building in a state of serious decay, we have to act now to restore and preserve this landmark for generations to come.
"Opening up the spectacular Victorian theatre and transforming the derelict BBC studios will mean more people can enjoy Alexandra Palace and learn about its rich heritage, while we can be confident of a sustainable future for Haringey's most iconic building."
The plans will also see the bricked-up colonnades along the palace's south terrace opened up to restore them to original designs and improve links to Alexandra Park.
Alexandra Palace, or Ally Pally as it is often known, first opened in 1873 and in 1936 the BBC launched the world's first regular television service from the site.
The new plans will see the Victorian theatre become a performance space and the venue's old BBC studio wing turned into an interactive exhibit detailing its broadcasting history.
A proposed gallery space will also showcase a range of broadcast objects.
Duncan Wilson, chief executive of Alexandra Palace, said: "We are delighted with the planning committee's decision, which allows us to move forward with the project and is a major step in the transformation of Alexandra Palace to realise its full potential as the "People's Palace" once again."
But local resident and architect Stephen Games had raised concerns about the plans.
"A lot of people from around the world are going to want to see it, and what they'll want to see are the studios themselves," he said.
"But you won't be able to see them because they're going to be wrapped up in partitions, covered in video screens and filled with display cases."
Alexandra Palace said, subject to funding, the project would be started in the autumn and is expected to open in 2017.
Alexandra Palace said the application would now be referred to the Secretary of State of Communities and Local Government for determination.


A 94-year-old former Nazi SS guard at the Auschwitz death camp has gone on trial in Germany over the murder of at least 170,000 people.

Prosecutors say Reinhold Hanning met Jewish prisoners as they arrived at the camp in occupied Poland and may have escorted some to the gas chambers.
Mr Hanning has admitted being a guard but denies involvement in mass murder.
He is being tried in the city of Detmold, in what is likely to be one of the last cases of its kind.
Mr Hanning is one of four elderly former Nazi guards - three men and a woman - who are due to go on trial in the coming months.
The Nazis killed about 1.1m people at Auschwitz, most of them Jews.
Mr Hanning was an SS guard at Auschwitz from 1943-44, at a time when hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews were murdered there.
His trial is being held in the west German city's chamber of commerce, in order to accommodate more people.
Each trial session will last just two hours, due to the defendant's age.
There was a rush of excitement as the thin old man in a brown jacket stepped into the courtroom.
Reinhold Hanning stared at the floor as, flanked by his lawyers, he limped to his chair. Cameras circled, the light from their flashbulbs reflecting on his spectacles.
I saw his jaw tense. But he did not look up.
Only once did that change. Leon Schwarzbaum - an Auschwitz survivor who is 10 months older than the man in the dock - was giving evidence, telling the court about his memories, which he said still torment him to this day.
He looked straight across the courtroom and addressed Mr Hanning, who looked up, briefly startled, at the sound of his name.
The courtroom was absolutely still as the two men looked at each other for just a moment.
"Mr Hanning," Mr Schwarzbaum continued. "We're about the same age. And we will soon face our final judge. I want you to tell the truth about what you and your comrades did."
Survivors of the World War II death camp are due to testify against Mr Hanning.
"The chimneys were spewing fire... the smell of burning human flesh was so unbelievable that one could hardly bear it," 94-year-old Leon Schwarzbaum was quoted by the Associated Press news agency as saying.
Until recently, prosecutors were required to provide evidence that defendants were directly involved in the killings.
But that changed with the 2011 conviction of John Demjanjuk, when a judge concluded that his activities as a camp worker in Nazi-occupied Poland amounted to complicity in mass murder.
Last year a German court sentenced Oskar Groening, 94, to four years in jail as an accessory to the murder of at least 300,000 people at Auschwitz.
Known as the SS "book-keeper of Auschwitz", he was allegedly responsible for counting banknotes confiscated from prisoners.

The deputy prime minister has called a tweet by one of his MPs "crass, stupid, offensive and highly insensitive".

Nick Clegg was asked on LBC about tweets by David Ward, Liberal Democrat MP for Bradford East, after the Paris terror attacks last week.
Mr Ward tweeted "Je suis Palestinian" as marchers gathered on Sunday following the attacks that left 17 people dead.
The MP said he was "disappointed" by his leader's comments.
More than three million people took part in Sunday's unity marches across France, with many displaying the slogan "Je suis Charlie" in a reference to Charlie Hebdo, the satirical magazine attacked by Islamist gunmen.
Mr Ward also tweeted that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's presence in Paris "makes me feel sick".
Mr Clegg said the Bradford MP "has repeated form on this" but he had not spoken to Mr Ward since the tweet.
The deputy prime minister told a caller to LBC "we are not suspending David Ward on this occasion" as his remarks, while offensive, were not as bad as comments he has made before which did lead to his suspension.
Speaking to the BBC, Mr Ward said he was "a bit disappointed" at Nick Clegg's criticism.
"Nick's got his own views and he is entitled to those views," he said.
"It's a contentious issue."
The MP denied his comments were aimed at Muslim voters in his constituency.
"I feel personally strongly on this particular issue," he said.
"Yes a lot of people in my constituency feel strongly about it who are Muslims.
"This is not a Muslim issue.
"Many, many people who applaud the stance that I take are not Muslims and I bitterly resent the accusation that what I'm doing and what I'm saying is somehow pandering to Muslims."
Mr Ward was suspended from the Lib Dem parliamentary party in July 2013 and had the whip withdrawn for three months over comments he made about Israel.
The suspension came after a long-running dispute with the party's leadership over his use of language and comments he made about "the Jews".
Last year he gave a "categorical apology" after tweeting: "The big question is - if I lived in #Gaza would I fire a rocket? - probably yes".
He later said his comments were not in support of firing rockets into Israel, and apologised if he had given that impression.


Supporters of renowned Nigerian environmental activist Ken Saro-Wiwa have called for him to be posthumously pardoned, as they mark the 20th anniversary of his execution.

Nigeria's then-military regime sparked global outrage after convicting Mr Saro-Wiwa of murder and hanging him.
The West African state's main human rights body said his trial was "deeply flawed", and he should be pardoned.
Mr Saro-Wiwa led mass protests against oil pollution in Nigeria's Ogoniland.
The protests were seen as a major threat to then-military ruler Gen Sani Abacha, and oil giant Shell.
Military rule ended in Nigeria, Africa's most populous state and biggest oil producer, in 1999.
The head of the government-appointed Nigerian Human Rights Commission Chidi Odinkalu said there was no doubt Ken Saro-Wiwa's trial was "deeply flawed" and "unsafe".
A posthumous pardon was the only way to restore the integrity of the state which "breached its own laws to procure a killing", he added, the AFP news agency reports.
The main events to commemorate Mr Saro-Wiwa's death - including a "justice walk" - are taking place in the main oil city, Port Harcourt, reports the BBC's Chris Ewokor from the capital, Abuja.
Nigeria's port authorities have refused to release a metal bus, shipped from the UK, which was to have been part of the commemorations because they regarded its message as highly political, our reporter adds.
It had written on it Mr Saro-Wiwa's famous phrase: "I accuse the oil companies of committing genocide."
Suzanne Dhaliwal from campaign group Action Soro-Wiwa condemned the seizure of the bus.
"We are still seeing the same attitudes to the freedom of expression that were there 20 years ago," she told the BBC's Newsday programme.
The bus is an artwork of UK-based Nigerian artist Sokari Douglas Camp, and was done about a decade ago.
It was commissioned by campaign groups, including Platform, to show solidarity with Nigerians who are still affected by oil pollution.
Last week, Amnesty International and the Centre for Environment, Human Rights and Development accused Shell of making false claims about the extent of its clean-up operations in Nigeria.
In a report, they said several sites Shell claimed to have had cleaned up were still polluted. Shell said that it disagreed with their findings.
Mr Saro-Wiwa and eight other activists were hanged after a secret trial which saw them being convicted of murdering four traditional leaders.
They denied the charge, and said they were framed.
The executions led to Nigeria's temporary suspension from the Commonwealth.


League One top scorer Josh Morris netted a hat-trick as leaders Scunthorpe United cruised to a 4-1 win at Walsall.

Scunthorpe could have led inside 20 seconds when Duane Holmes pounced on Kevin Toner's under-hit backpass, but he fired wide with only keeper Neil Etheridge to beat.
But they only had to wait until the 11th minute to break the deadlock when Liam Kinsella handled from a corner and Morris swept home the penalty.
It was 2-0 on 13 minutes when Etheridge saved well from Tom Hopper only for Morris to slam home the rebound.
Walsall pulled a goal back in the 45th minute when Erhun Oztumer finished a neat run by finding the bottom corner from 18 yards.
They could have been level seconds later, but Simeon Jackson was foiled from close range by Iron keeper Luke Daniels.
That save would prove key as, just two minutes into the second half, Scunthorpe midfielder Neal Bishop lashed home from 25 yards.
Etheridge made fine saves from Holmes, Sam Mantom and Hopper to keep Walsall in it, but Morris curled a beauty into the top corner to make it 4-1 on 83 minutes and substitute Kevin van Veen almost added a fifth with a lob that clipped the bar.

David Cameron said being prime minister had been "the greatest honour" of his life as he prepared to formally resign.

Flanked by his wife and children in Downing Street, he said the UK was "much stronger" than when he took over.
He then went to Buckingham Palace to tender his resignation to the Queen, who has now formally appointed Theresa May as his replacement.
Earlier Mr Cameron took PMQs for the final time, telling MPs he would "miss the roar of the crowd".
After taking office, Mrs May, the home secretary, will set about naming her own frontbench team.
Before driving to Buckingham Palace, Mr Cameron spoke outside No 10, saying he had "not got every decision right" but adding: "I do believe that today, our country is much stronger."
"Politicians like to talk about policies, but in the end it's about people's lives," he said, pointing to the government's record on employment, the NHS and defence.
He wished Mrs May well, saying she would provide "strong and stable leadership", and paid tribute to his wife Samantha and his children.
As the family left for the final time, he said his only wish was "continued success for this great country that I love so very much".
A statement from Buckingham Palace confirmed he had tendered his resignation as prime minister and the Queen was "graciously pleased" to accept.
In the Commons, Conservative MPs rose as one to applaud Mr Cameron at the end of his 182nd PMQs session as prime minister, as did former Lib Dem Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg. Labour MPs also joined in with the clapping, including leader Jeremy Corbyn.
Mr Cameron told his MPs that he intended to stay in public life and would be "willing them on", saying "nothing is impossible".  In his final remarks, he reprised a comment he made to Tony Blair during his first PMQs as opposition leader in 2005, saying: "I was the future once."
During a generally light-hearted and jocular session of Prime Minister's Questions, Mr Cameron said he had clocked up 5,500 questions at the dispatch box, joking that he would leave it to others to decide how many he has answered.
He dismissed suggestions he will look to take over as the host of Top Gear or England manager, joking they "sound even harder" than being PM.
He also stressed his love for Larry the Downing Street cat - amid rumours that he was not a fan - a point he later emphasised on Twitter and swapped warm wishes with Jeremy Corbyn, saying he had almost come to admire the Labour leader's "tenacity" in hanging on to his job.
Defending his economic, social and foreign affairs achievements, Mr Cameron said there had been "many amazing moments" over the past six years of "public service in the national interest".
Mr Cameron "warmly congratulated" Theresa May, who sat next to him during the session, on her election and told Mr Corbyn that "when it came to female prime ministers I am pleased to say pretty soon it is going be two-nil".
Mr Corbyn said that although he had often disagreed with the PM, he thanked him for his service over the last six years and praised him for his backing for equal marriage and his efforts to secure the release of Shaker Aamer from Guantanamo Bay.
The Labour leader also paid tribute to Mr Cameron's wife Samantha and his family, who watched the proceedings from the public gallery. His daughters Nancy and Florence were seen to give their father a wave and cheer him on during the session.
Earlier, Mr Cameron told the Telegraph he came into Downing Street to "lead people through difficult decisions so together we could reach better times", adding "as I leave today, I hope people will see a stronger country, a thriving economy, and more chances to get on in life."
Later, after saying goodbye to staff at Downing Street, the PM will tender his resignation to the Queen,
The BBC's royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell said the private audience was likely to be a short one, potentially about 20 minutes.
Soon after, Mrs May will then make her own way to Buckingham Palace, accompanied by her husband Philip, when she will be asked to accept the monarch's offer to form a new government.
Our correspondent said Queen Elizabeth was likely to ask the new PM, who will be the 13th leader of her reign, about her "intentions and programme" for government.
Mrs May, who at 59 becomes the oldest incoming prime minister since Jim Callaghan in 1976, will then return to No 10 as the country's second female prime minister, following in the footsteps of Margaret Thatcher.
She is expected to briefly address the nation before meeting top officials, including Cabinet Secretary Sir Jeremy Heyward, and receiving a full national security and defence briefing.
She will be asked to hand-write letters to the commanders of the UK's four Trident submarines about what to do in the event of a catastrophic nuclear attack on the UK and to appoint two nuclear "deputies" - ministers who will take decisions on the deterrent if she has been rendered incapable.
She is also expected to take calls from a number of foreign leaders. Later on Wednesday, she will get down to the work of putting together her government - with key appointments set to be announced within hours.
The current home secretary was the only remaining candidate in the Tory leadership contest following Andrea Leadsom's withdrawal on Monday.
The contest began when Mr Cameron, who has been prime minister since 2010, announced he would step down after losing the EU referendum in June.
Removal vans were spotted outside Downing Street on Tuesday, as Mr Cameron's ministers paid tribute to him in his final cabinet meeting.
Former Culture Secretary Maria Miller rejected suggestions that Mr Cameron's legacy would be totally defined by the decision to leave the EU, saying that while this seemed "a very big part of the political bubble" now, other achievements would endure.
She told Sky News the prime minister has "championed gay marriage and social justice while putting the Conservative Party in the centre ground" of politics and leaving behind a "strong economic foundation" to cope with the uncertainty caused by Brexit.
The swift transition of power comes after the expected nine-week leadership campaign was truncated to just a couple of days by leading Brexit campaigner Andrea Leadsom's surprise withdrawal.
Mrs May, who backed a vote to remain in the EU, will unveil her full ministerial team over the next couple of days, with the focus on the key positions of chancellor and foreign secretary as well who will be put in charge of leading the Brexit negotiations.
She is expected to promote a number of women to senior positions, with International Development Secretary Justine Greening and Energy Secretary Amber Rudd among those likely to get upward moves.
Asked her about her prospects, Ms Rudd told reporters: "I haven't been told anything yet so I'm just going to get on with my day job".


Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers will speak to Raheem Sterling after the forward was pictured apparently taking nitrous oxide.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Images published by The Sun appear to show the 20-year-old England forward taking the legal substance, commonly known as laughing gas.
Sterling scored in Liverpool's 2-0 win over Newcastle at Anfield on Monday.
"I don't think it is something you should be doing, it's as simple as that," said Rodgers.
The incident comes after Sterling admitted rejecting a new £100,000-a-week Liverpool contract in an interview with the BBC.
"We want players here who are super-professional and focused on their football - I know he is," added Rodgers.
"It's not just on the field, it's off the field as well but I will speak with him on it and we'll move on.
"Young players make mistakes. As long as they learn from them, that is what is important."
Nitrous oxide is often used in surgery and dentistry for its anaesthetic effects but it is also a popular legal high as it can make people feel relaxed, euphoric and giggly.
A Home Office campaign last year on the risks of legal highs showed it was the second most popular drug among young adults after cannabis.
The images are the second time in as many days that Sterling has featured in the news pages. The Sunday Mirror published pictures of the player allegedly smoking a shisha-pipe over the weekend.
Speaking on Sky Sports, former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher admitted he made mistakes as a young player, but added: "Raheem needs to be on the back pages, not the front pages."


League One side Gillingham have signed former Dover Athletic goalkeeper Steve Arnold on a one-year contract.

Arnold made 30 National League appearances last season for Dover, keeping nine clean sheets.
The 27-year-old previously played under Gills head coach Ady Pennock at League Two club Forest Green Rovers.
"For me he hasn't fulfilled his potential as a goalkeeper. He is a good lad and will fit in well," Pennock told the club website.

Hundreds of Turkish forces in armoured vehicles have entered war-torn northern Syria to evacuate troops guarding a historic tomb, demolishing it and moving the remains to a different site.

The remains of Suleyman Shah, who died in the 13th Century, were moved to a site in Syria closer to the border.
Turkey considered the shrine sovereign territory.
Islamic State (IS) militants in the area had threatened to attack it last year.
The government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, which has lost control over much of northern Syria as a result of the country's civil war, condemned the incursion as "flagrant aggression".
It said that Turkey had informed its Istanbul consulate about the operation but had not waited for Syria's consent.
Suleyman Shah, who lived from about 1178 to 1236, was grandfather of the founder of the Ottoman empire, Osman I.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said his government and the armed forces had carried out a "successful operation which is beyond all kinds of appreciation".
All the relics at the tomb and the Turkish soldiers who had been guarding it had been brought out "safe and sound", he said, and the existing mausoleum was destroyed.
One soldier was killed accidentally in the overnight raid, the military said.
The remains of Suleyman Shah have been moved to a hill north of the village of Esmesi close to the Turkish border, in an area under Turkish military control.
Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said he hoped the remains could be returned to the old burial site eventually.
The operation unfolded peacefully, beginning on Saturday at about 21:00 local time (19:00 GMT) and ending on Sunday morning, with 572 soldiers involved, Mr Davutoglu said.
A convoy of 39 tanks and 57 armoured vehicles streamed through Kobane, the city which Syrian Kurdish fighters retook last month from IS.
Selin Girit, BBC News, on Turkish border with Syria
The tomb of Suleiman Shah was the one and only Turkish enclave abroad, in accordance with a treaty signed in 1921. This was the burial site of Suleyman Shah, the grandfather of the Ottoman Empire's founder Osman I - which meant it had historical significance too.
Turkey was concerned with the rising Islamic State threat in the area. In March 2014, IS threatened to attack the site unless Turkish troops guarding the tomb were withdrawn in three days; but such an attack did not take place. If the tomb had in fact come under attack, that would have provoked serious reaction from Turkey.
In August 2012, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan - then PM - had warned that an act against the tomb would be considered "an attack on our territory, as well an attack on Nato land". Last year, the Turkish parliament authorised the use of force against IS militants. Commentators in Turkish media say the fact that the tomb is now moved and soldiers are evacuated is a relief for Turkey.
Why is Suleyman Shah's tomb so important?
They travelled some 35km (20 miles) south to the tomb on the banks of the Euphrates river, where Suleyman Shah is believed to have drowned.
Soldiers raised a Turkish flag at the new grave site.
Mr Davutoglu was kept abreast of the operation at army headquarters in Ankara.
The tomb had been permanently guarded by a contingent of about 40 soldiers, who rotated periodically.
The site is part of Turkish territory, according to a treaty signed in 1921 (in French) that gave Turkey the right to station guards and fly its flag there.
When the treaty was signed the tomb and legal enclave were some 80km south of their current location but were moved after the original site was flooded by the creation of the reservoir Lake Assad in 1974.
Since driving IS out of Kobane in January, the Kurdish Popular Protection Units and rebels have taken a number of surrounding villages.
They are now said to be only 25km from Tal Abyad - the strategically important border town east of Kobane that is used by IS militants to cross into Turkey.
IS has seized larges swathes in Syria and Iraq, proclaiming a caliphate.


Bernie Ecclestone will "walk away" from Formula 1 if new owners Liberty Media interfere with his running of the business, according to Max Mosley.

The former head of F1's governing body the FIA said Liberty "need" Ecclestone as it learns about its new acquisition.
"These people may take a more active role and they want to sort of run the business but that could bring them into conflict with Bernie," Mosley said.
But he added: "It is much more likely there will be a collaboration."
Mosley, an old friend and ally of Ecclestone, was talking in an exclusive interview with 5 live.
He said he expected F1 to continue as before under the new owners, despite the need for a succession plan for Ecclestone, who is 86 next month.
"There has to be a succession sooner or later unless Bernie's immortal, which I don't think he is," Mosley said. "So I guess this would be part of that process.
"But as far as the overall picture is concerned, I doubt very much that anything is going to change because they bring I would imagine certain sorts of expertise to the table.
"But Bernie on the other hand has this enormous big knowledge of F1 which they certainly won't have so they will need him.
"It is going to be very interesting to see what things they wish to do in addition to what has been done already."
Ecclestone, who said last week he had been asked to stay on for a further three years, has been criticised for failing to embrace the possibilities offered by the internet and social media to expand F1's audience and potentially its income.
Mosley said Ecclestone was "the first person to say he doesn't understand social media and he's not really into the digital age. On the other hand he is very good at keeping the whole structure going."
Media playback is not supported on this device
Mosley said he believed Ecclestone and the new chairman of F1 Chase Carey, who has worked extensively for companies owned by media mogul Rupert Murdoch, would be able to work together.
"If Chase Carey is a person of real ability and he wants to understand and he's clever, I think he'll get along fine with Bernie," Mosley said.
"Most of the people Bernie has not been able to get on with, it's because they are not up to the level at which he operates."
Liberty has said that part of its plans to change F1 will be to offer the teams the chance to buy shares in the sport.
But Mosley, who was FIA president from 1993-2009, said he believed this was a mistake, saying that "every time that has happened in any other form of motorsport, it hasn't worked - you have examples of that in America".
"Really what you need (is) an independent body making and enforcing the rules and it is up to them to make it attractive to the teams on the one side and the spectacular on the other. So I think the teams having a say is wrong.
"And the big difficulty at the moment is that Bernie runs the commercial side of F1 and the sporting side is supposed to be run by the FIA. And from the outside - and I am not involved now - it would appear that the sporting side is not run quite as carefully and in such detail as perhaps it should be."
He criticised his successor as FIA president, Jean Todt, for not following through on a promise he made before being elected that he would introduce a commissioner for F1.


A blood test that may improve treatment for children born with congenital cataracts has been developed by researchers in Manchester.

It analyses every known mutation in the DNA which can cause the condition.
The team, which is presenting the test at the British Society for Genetic Medicine, hope it will spread up diagnosis and help decide the best treatment.
The charity RNIB described the test as a "welcome step forward".
About 200 children are born with cataracts in the UK each year.
"Diagnosing a congenital cataract is very easy at birth, but diagnosing the cause takes considerably longer," Prof Graeme Black, from the University of Manchester, said.
The problem is there are more than 100 different mutations in a child's DNA which have been linked to congenital cataracts.
"If you have a child with no family history then finding the cause can take months or years," he told the BBC.
A complete diagnosis can help doctors work out the best course of treatment, inform families on the risks of cataracts if they have more children or diagnose severe diseases which have cataracts as an early symptom.
At the moment, each mutation has to be tested for individually.
A team of researchers, at Manchester University and the Central Manchester Health Care Trust, has used advances in genetics to look for all the errors in the genetic code in a single test.
Dr Rachel Gillespie said: "Our test looks at all of these genes in parallel, so patients can be diagnosed much faster and receive the treatment, clinical management and genetic counselling they need."
Hospitals in Manchester will begin offering the test from December.
Steve Winyard, from the charity RNIB, said: "This is very interesting research as approximately 200 children in the UK are born with some form of congenital cataract every year.
"Any development which enables children to be diagnosed quicker and gain faster access to treatment is a welcome step forward.
"It will be exciting to watch how this research progresses and how the genetic information might be used to manage congenital cataracts in the future."


Hull FC beat Catalans Dragons to earn a 10th consecutive win and reach the semi-finals of the Challenge Cup.

The Super League leaders fell behind to Benjamin Garcia's early score, but hit back through tries from Steve Michaels and Frank Pritchard.
Danny Houghton extended Hull FC's lead after the break but Fouad Yaha crossed in the corner to reduce the deficit.
Marc Sneyd's goal-kicking bolstered the advantage as Hull moved closer to their first Challenge Cup triumph since 2005.
Victory saw Hull join Wakefield and Warrington in Saturday's draw for the last four, after their respective wins on Thursday and Friday.
Catalans, the 2007 finalists, have never won the Challenge Cup and were deservedly beaten at the KCOM Stadium.
The French side took the lead through Garcia but, over the course of the match, lost the battle of the forwards in a bruising, physical encounter.
A fine 40-20 kick from Thomas Bosc led to Yaha's second-half try for Dragons but Sneyd's two second-half penalty goals helped make Hull's win safe.
Hull FC head coach Lee Radford told BBC Radio Humberside:
"The game didn't pan out like we expected but we defended fantastically and we're really pleased to still be in the draw.
"I say this all the time, to be the best you've got the beat the best, whether that is the Keepmoat, Langtree Park or wherever the semi-finals are going to be played."
Hull FC: Shaul; Michaels, Fonua, Yeaman, Talanoa; Tuimavave, Sneyd; Taylor, Houghton, Watts, Manu, Minichiello, Ellis.
Replacements: Green, Bowden, Pritchard, Washbrook.

A man has appeared in court in Dundee accused of raping a woman in a car.

Safdar Hussain appeared in private at Dundee Sheriff Court accused of sexually assaulting the woman during a car journey in the city on 18 October.
The 42-year-old, from Perth, made no plea or declaration to a petition charge of rape.
The case was continued for further examination and Mr Hussain was remanded in custody.


Former champion jump jockey Richard Dunwoody says the memory loss he suffers could be a result of falling "hundreds of times" in his career.

Dunwoody, 52, is among the first volunteers for a research project examining the long-term effects of concussion on competitors in sports.
"I lose my track and lose my memory," he told BBC Radio 5 live.
"I don't know whether it's old age or whether it's a result of concussions. I had about 700 falls."
Belfast-born Dunwoody, who won the champion jockey title three times in a 17-year career ended in 1999 by a neck injury, added: "Of those falls, I was reasonably concussed seven or eight times.
"I either woke up in the ambulance room, on the racecourse, in a sauna or somewhere else, and had quite bad memory loss.
"My father was a jockey. He fractured his skull and had Alzheimer's towards the end of his life.
"He did live to 91 so it might have been just old age, but the more we can find out from this study the better.
"Are we as jockeys more susceptible to neuro-degenerative diseases or not?"
The study, Concussion in Sport, wants to establish whether retired sportsmen and sportswomen have an increased incidence, or suffer an earlier onset, of neuro-degenerative disorders.
The British Horseracing Authority, which has welcomed the research project, is already reviewing its own practices around concussion.
Funding and support for the study, which will then extend to all sports in which concussion is a recognised risk, has come from a range of sources, including the Injured Jockeys' Fund, racehorse owners Godolphin, American football's NFL.


Millwall midfielder Shaun Williams has signed a 12-month contract extension with the newly-promoted Championship club, with an option for an extra year.

He has made 155 appearances for the Lions since signing from MK Dons for an undisclosed fee in January 2014.
The 30-year-old played 56 games in all competitions last season.
"Having such success last season made it an easy decision for me to sign another contract," Williams told the club website.

Wales must wait for England and Ireland to decide if the Principality Stadium roof will be closed during their Six Nations games in Cardiff.

Wales asked organisers for permission to play all their home games under the tournament's only retractable roof but were turned down.
"It's now a discussion between the teams the week of the game like has always happened," said Howley.
England are Wales' first visitors on Saturday, 11 February.
Eddie Jones, England's Australian coach, said he cannot understand why the use of the roof - open or closed - is an issue.

"I don't care. It makes no difference because both teams have to play under it," said Jones.
However, Howley and his team will not know until close to the game what will happen.
"It's something that we wanted to have because of the experience one, of the atmosphere, but also controlling the conditions," said Howley.
"We understand and we respect that decision."
The Wales coach - deputising for 2017 British and Irish Lions boss Warren Gatland - also recalled England's 2013 visit to Cardiff when Stuart Lancaster was in charge of England.

The former Wales and Lions scrum-half was also in charge of Wales that season, as Gatland prepared to take charge of the Lions in Australia.
Howley said: "Stuart Lancaster rang me on the Monday and wanted the roof closed.
"If that's the case when England come to the Principality and Eddie Jones wants the roof closed that's fine.
"So it's down to the opposition coach who will dictate if the roof is open or closed."
Wales start the tournament on Sunday, 5 February and also travel to Scotland and France.
They host Ireland on Friday, 10 March.
Wales have two home matches in the 2017 Six Nations - firstly against England and then Ireland on 10 March.


David Miliband has said he "passionately" wants Labour to win the general election and for his brother to become the next prime minister.

In an interview with the Financial Times, the former foreign secretary said his brother Ed, the Labour leader, had "clarity, vision, determination".
He also said it would be "unbelievably stupid" for the UK to leave the European Union.
Mr Miliband now runs the International Rescue Committee in New York.
The Miliband brothers contested the Labour leadership in 2010, which was eventually won by Ed, the younger of the two.
David, who left UK politics when he resigned as MP for South Shields in 2013, told the FT: "I passionately want Labour to win - and Ed to win [the general election]."
There has been recent speculation over the Labour leader's ability to take his party to victory in the general election next May, with reports that some backbenchers wanted him to resign.
But when asked if his brother would make a good prime minister, David replied: "Of course. I would know that better than most."
Questioned about his brother's relevant qualities for the post, he added: "What I would say is that the clarity, the vision, the determination, those are all important qualities.
"But, equally, I have made it a rule not to insert myself into the political dynamic for two reasons. One, I have got a job that requires me to work with the current government.
"And, two, I am trying to run a charity, not a political party. My experience is that anything I say gets taken out of context."
Mr Miliband was also asked about Prime Minister David Cameron's plans, should the Conservatives win the next election, to hold a referendum in 2017 on whether or not the UK should remain in the European Union.
There was a "real danger" that the prime minister might "paint himself into a corner", Mr Miliband said.
"Those on the pro-ÂBritish - as I call it - proÂ-European side of the argument have got to make the case that we get far more from being at the table than shouting with a loud hailer outside the room.
"I have this residual faith in the common sense of the British people that generally they don't do stupid things. And it would be unbelievably stupid to walk out of the European Union."
When asked if he could ever envisage a return to UK politics, Mr Miliband pointed out that two years ago he had no idea he would be in his current post.
"You just don't know, do you," he said.


Former Wales rugby international Scott Gibbs and his wife are understood to have been involved in a road accident in Italy.

BBC Wales has been told the retired player and Kate Weaver-Gibbs were involved in the incident involving a motorbike last week.
There are no further details available about the accident. The Foreign Office has been asked to comment.
Reports in Italian media suggest only Ms Weaver-Gibbs has been injured.
Ms Weaver-Gibbs, who is in her early 30s, is a beauty and travel writer who is originally from south Wales.
In a magazine article published after their wedding, she said they met at the Pelican pub in Ogmore-by-Sea, in Vale of Glamorgan, after she finished studying at Bristol University.
The couple were married in 2014 in Cape Town, South Africa.
They moved in 2009 to Aspen, Colorado, and the following year to South Africa, from where Scott Gibbs did media work.
Mr Gibbs, who is now aged 45, retired from rugby in 2004, having played 53 Tests for Wales, and on three tours with the British and Irish Lions.
He also played rugby league for Wales and for St Helens, winning the Challenge Cup.
He made his Wales union debut in 1991, with probably his most famous moment the last-minute try against England in 1999 which helped his country to a 32-31 win.
For the Lions he was named Man of the Series in the winning 1997 tour in South Africa.


Twenty full-time firefighters could lose their jobs in Suffolk in order to meet budget cuts of more than £1m.

Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service, which employs about 700 people, may also lose 50-60 on-call firefighters as part of the savings plan.
The number of full-time crewed stations was reduced to four in a previous round of cuts - two remain in Ipswich, along with Lowestoft and Bury St Edmunds.
A public consultation on Suffolk County Council's plans will now take place.
Seven of the county's 47 fire engines could be scrapped and Wrentham fire station may close as part of the £1.3m cuts.
A fire engine in Sudbury, where a major fire broke out in September, could be replaced with a smaller "rapid response" vehicle.
Matthew Hicks, of Suffolk County Council, said he was confident an "outstanding service" could be maintained.
"Without question, this is a challenging set of proposals," he said. "However, they have been shaped by the feedback we received during the recent pre-consultation held in the summer.
"I now encourage people to respond to this full consultation so we have a wide range of views to inform our final decisions."
There has been a fall in the number of emergency calls over the last 10 years in Suffolk, in line with other authorities, from about 10,000 in 2004 to about 6,700 last year.
A spokesman for the Suffolk Fire Brigades Union said they were "deeply concerned about the devastating cuts" which, they said, were "nothing but dangerous".
Chairman Andy Vingoe said: "The £1.3m saving could be avoided totally if council tax was increased by less than £1.80 per person in Suffolk per year.
"We strongly urge all residents to reply to the consultation to tell the council that we are not prepared to endure these cuts."


Tottenham may fine Real Madrid target Gareth Bale after he failed to show up to training for a second day, manager Andre Villas-Boas has said.

Spanish giants Real have made a world record £86m bid for the forward.
Bale, 24, was due back at training on Tuesday after a break in Marbella.
It is a dream move for him but I think in the end this could have happened in a different way
"He is involved in a big transfer to Real Madrid and, if it happens, we wish him all the best, but the fact that he hasn't turned up is not the correct behaviour," said Villas-Boas.
"I gave the player the weekend off. Monday was a day off for the squad. It is up to the club now to decide if it's a fineable offence. I've given my opinion on it, it's up to them to decide whether they act on it or not."
Under rules laid down by the Professional Footballers' Association, a player can only be fined two weeks' wages, which in Bale's case would amount to around £160,000.
Bale has not featured for Spurs or Wales this season due to a foot injury.
He has been left out Tottenham's squad for Thursday's Europa League second leg against Dinamo Tbilisi but has been called up by Wales for this month's World Cup qualifiers against Macedonia and Serbia.
Bale has been linked with Real all summer and Villas-Boas says the record-breaking transfer "could happen very, very soon".
The former Chelsea boss added: "It is a dream move for him but I think in the end this could have happened in a different way.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"At the moment, the two clubs are speaking. I suppose it could go to the last day or it could happen in next two days. But you wouldn't expect the biggest transfer in world football to happen easily."
Tottenham are reluctant to sell until they have signed a replacement.
They have been linked with Roma's £30m-rated Argentina forward Erik Lamela, but they missed out on Brazil midfielder Willian, who joined Premier League rivals Chelsea.
"I have told you that we will continue re-strengthening the squad, so we are looking at different positions to make us stronger," said Villas-Boas.
"In the next couple of days, we will have further news and I think we will see further additions at Tottenham."
Villas-Boas is also annoyed with England manager Roy Hodgson for not consulting him before selecting Andros Townsend for international duty.
Tottenham have spent £59m this summer.
In July, they broke their transfer record to sign Brazil midfielder Paulinho for a fee of just under £17m from Corinthians.
In August, they spent £26m on Valencia's Spain striker Roberto Soldado (pictured).
Spurs have also bought 25-year-old French midfielder Etienne Capoue, 25, for £9m from Ligue 1 club Toulouse and Belgium international winger Nacer Chadli from Dutch club FC Twente for £7m.
"I would like to give you a little bit more information but the fact (is) that I wasn't contacted in any way or form by Roy Hodgson regarding the player call-up," said Villas-Boas.
"I would have preferred to give my opinion on the fact that he gets called up so soon."
Hodgson handed call-ups to Steven Caulker and Tom Huddlestone for last year's friendly in Sweden, but they have not played since, while Jake Livermore has been discarded by England after just one cap.
Villas-Boas worries that Townsend may end up in a similar position.
"If there is continuity to the future of Andros in the national team, it's a great step for him," said Villas-Boas.
"If there is no continuity in the future, if his performances change in some way or if the player doesn't get involved in Tottenham and, in the end, he gets dried out, then it's a big surprise for me, because I think a player who gets called up for the national team after two games should have respect and continuity towards the future.
"So I assume from this moment that there will be that belief. I can recall, last season, we had Jake Livermore, Tom Huddlestone, Steven Caulker, called up for England.
"At the moment, it doesn't seem to have any continuity there."


A fire in a derelict building in Dundee city centre has caused significant traffic disruption.

Firefighters began tackling the blaze on the ground and first floors of the building in Dock Street shortly before 12:30.
The incident led to the closure of one eastbound lane, resulting in traffic backing up the entire length of the Tay Road Bridge's northbound carriageway.
The fire has been extinguished but crews remained at the scene.
A Scottish Fire and Rescue spokeswoman said a structural engineer has assessed the building as unsafe.


London Mayor Boris Johnson says he is "sure" Chancellor George Osborne can come up with a way to protect people on low incomes from tax credit cuts.

The government is facing calls to reconsider the changes, which come into force in April, or to soften the impact on the people affected.
In the House of Lords, cross-bench peer Baroness Meacher is tabling a motion to amend the reforms.
The government says people's incomes will be protected by other measures.
Ministers point to the new National Living Wage, increased free childcare and a larger personal income tax allowance.
Mr Osborne is due to address Conservative MPs later, with a Commons debate about tax credits triggered by Labour taking place on Tuesday.
Some Conservatives have expressed concern about the impact of the changes, and former minister Andrew Mitchell has suggested a "tweak" is needed before April.
Speaking BBC Radio 4's PM programme, Conservative MP Stephen McPartland - one of two Tories to vote against the reforms last month - said he was unhappy they had not been mentioned in his party's general election manifesto.
"There are still a number of Conservative MPs who are very unhappy," he said, adding that it would have helped if those now questioning the changes had spoken out earlier.
Mr McPartland, the MP for Stevenage, said he believed "mitigation" would be put forward by the Treasury.
"My understanding is that they are going to be looking at a range of issues to try to calm the situation down," he added.
Mr Johnson told the BBC tax credits, which supplement low earners' incomes, were "extremely cumbersome".
"Many people come to see me saying they've got an unfair situation, in that they are finding if they work more than a certain period every week, they get their tax credit withdrawn, so it's got to be sorted out," he said.
"We need a way forward. Obviously what I would like to see is working with the tax and benefits system and the living wage to make sure that hard-working people on low incomes are protected, and I'm sure the chancellor can do that."
The Conservative MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip also told BBC Radio 4's The World at One programme he believed the tax credit changes were under "intensive review".
"Let's see what they come up with," he said. "I'm sure that they are working on it now."
Tax credits debate: Finding your way
From April, the threshold at which tax credits begin to be withdrawn will fall from £6,420 to £3,850, and people's income over this amount will be reduced more steeply.
MPs approved the changes in a vote last month. They were introduced using a statutory instrument, so did not need to pass through the House of Lords.
But Baroness Meacher is expected to table a rare "fatal motion" challenging the policy which would mean it is debated and voted on in the Lords, where the government does not have a majority.
She told The World at One she expected Conservative peers as well as Church of England Bishops would join her in opposing the measures.
"The most vulnerable people in our society are going to lose money," she said.
Baroness Meacher said it was "unbelievable" people earning as little as £3,850 were going to lose out and called on the government to "think again and protect people at the very very bottom".
Former Labour minister Frank Field has proposed his own alternative solution which he says would mitigate the effects of the reforms at no extra cost.
Mr Field told the BBC's Daily Politics he hoped the Lords would defeat the government and claimed that pressure from Conservative MPs to soften the cuts was also "being applied in the most intense form" to the prime minister and the chancellor.


Kilmarnock defender Miles Addison is expected to be ruled out until late January after undergoing surgery on a troublesome foot injury.

The 27-year-old Englishman had already missed four games since going off injured after 25 minutes of the 5 November draw with Hamilton Accies.
Kilmarnock have won one one, drawn one and lost two games during his absence.
Addison has made 13 appearances since joining Kilmarnock this summer after leaving Peterborough United.
His absence, along with an injury to Jonathan Burn, leaves Kilmarnock short of central defenders for Saturday's Scottish Premiership visit by Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
Only Scott Boyd and Will Boyle are available to manager Lee Clark.


A man required hospital treatment following an attack near a Chinese restaurant in Langholm.

The disturbance involving about five people happened on the town's High Street at about 22:45 on New Year's Day.
A 50-year-old man was assaulted and knocked to the ground. He was taken to the Cumberland Infirmary with face and head injuries.
Anyone who witnessed the incident has been asked to contact the police.
Anyone who saw anything near the Loon Chen restaurant around the time has been asked to contact police.


Chris Jones has signed a new contract with Cardiff Devils to remain at the Ice Arena Wales for the 2016-17 season.

The 25-year old becomes the sixth player to be retained by the Devils, who were runners-up in last season's Elite Ice Hockey League.
The Devils have also retained Jake Morissette, Ben Bowns, Mark Richardson, Joey Martin and Josh Batch.
"Jones is a great skater. His skating ability is his best asset," said coach Andrew Lord.


A man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering a woman whose body was found at a house in Burnley.

Lancashire Police said the 33-year-old woman was discovered dead at a terraced property in Wilton Street on Friday morning.
A seven-month-old girl was found unharmed at the house and taken to a safe place.
The arrested man, 34, was held after being seen "acting suspiciously" on Holmby Street, police said.
He was arrested on suspicion of being in possession of a knife and taken into custody. Soon after, police discovered the dead woman when officers were sent to check on her safety.
Police said a post-mortem examination was taking place to try to establish the cause of death.


Westminster figures will travel to Scotland on the third day of campaigning in the general election.

During a visit to Glasgow, Labour's Treasury spokesman Ed Balls will say Labour's first budget would end "Tory austerity".
Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg will also be in Scotland to outline his plans to triple paternity leave.
The SNP will vow to cut VAT for emergency services and the Scottish Conservatives will focus on justice.
Elsewhere, the Scottish Greens will renew their election pledge to bring the railways back in to public ownership.
Voters across the UK go to the polls on 7 May.
On day three of the campaign Mr Balls is expected to say a vote for the SNP is a vote for continued Tory cuts. He said Labour would invest in the NHS, education and jobs in Scotland.
He will say: "Our tough but balanced plan, set out in our fiscal pledge, means we won't do this by increasing borrowing but with fair tax changes across the UK."
Meanwhile, the Liberal Democrats will pledge to increase paternity leave from two weeks to six.
Mr Clegg will say: "For too long, mums have been told their place is at home with their child, while dads return to work.
"I want parents to choose for themselves how to balance work and family."
Scottish Justice Secretary Michael Matheson will campaign in Edinburgh for the SNP, calling for a change to VAT rules for emergency services.
Speaking ahead of the event, he said: "At a time when public services are being hammered by unprecedented Westminster budget cuts, it beggars belief that the UK government won't grant Scotland's police and fire services this vital VAT exception.
"Reversing these unfair rules would free up Â£23 million for police and Â£10 million for fire services - and this money could be invested in frontline staff."
Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson will give a speech at the Scottish Police Federation Conference on law and order.
She is expected to say her party would end automatic early release, reintroduce life imprisonment for the most serious crimes, and make those who break a community payback order spend a night in jail.
At an event at Stirling railway station, the Scottish Greens will make their vow to bring the railways back into public ownership once current contracts expire.
It comes as the Dutch, state-owned company Abellio takes over the ScotRail franchise. UK law currently prevents public sector bids for rail franchises.
Scottish Green MSP Alison Johnstone, said: "Greens believe that the infrastructure arteries of our economy should be publicly-owned as default, so we'll continue the fight to change the law that prevents this."

David Ball proved Northampton's undoing, creating one and scoring another as high-flying Fleetwood earned victory, their 17th successive game without defeat.

The Cobblers made the early running and should have gone ahead, as Marc Richards got goalside of Cian Bolger, lofting a neat ball to Michael Smith who rattled the woodwork from barely five yards out.
Justin Edinburgh's side seemed determined to stamp their mark on the game, Michael Smith firing wide from close range as the high-flying hosts looked to be limping to the break.
But the game turned in a second when Adam Smith hesitated under pressure from Ball.
The Fleetwood striker's chip was gathered by Devante Cole, who was denied at the first attempt but pounced on the rebound to find the net from the tightest of angles.
Ball might easily have doubled Town's tally within minutes of the restart, another moment of uncertainty going unpunished as his shot slipped just wide of the back post.
Fleetwood did soon find their second, Bobby Grant skipping around two men and firing past Smith from the right of the six-yard box.
A second goal in the space of four minutes ended any hopes of a Cobblers comeback, Ball this time the architect and scorer.
He made the most of David Buchanan's slip, racing in from the left and picking the moment to lift the ball over the advancing Adam Smith to bag his 13th goal of the campaign.

Birmingham's bin strike is costing £40,000 a day, the city council has said.

The authority is using agency staff and contractors to help clear the backlog as the dispute enters its seventh week.
Councillor Lisa Trickett, the city's environment boss, said the authority hoped to find a resolution to the "challenging" situation this week.
The Unite union has warned the action could continue until Christmas unless a "fair deal" is negotiated.

Why are city refuse workers on strike?
Ms Trickett, cabinet member for clean streets, recycling and environment, said a contractor had been brought in to carry out an evening collection at tower blocks.
She added a number of agency staff were also being used, with the council facing a basic daily cost of £40,000 due to the action.
"We will look for a resolution this week, we have opened the door and said join us for discussions at [conciliation service] Acas," she said.
"We have agreement on some key areas, it is a case of the union coming and joining us and actually finding a way forward.
"We have to get this bin service back. It's not just the bin service that's suffering, other public services are put at risk by the cost of this strike action."
On Friday, the union said it was balloting refuse collection members to renew its industrial action mandate, which could result in more strikes after the present round ends on 21 September.
The council said it was "very disappointed" by the warning and said Unite was "effectively holding the city to ransom".
The conflict centres on restructuring plans that Unite says are threatening the jobs of more than 120 refuse collectors.
The council says plans will modernise the service and save £5m a year.


The trial of a man accused of murdering Guernsey woman Sarah Groves in India has been adjourned after a prosecution witness did not appear.

The 24-year-old was found dead on a houseboat she was sharing with a local family in Srinagar, Kashmir, in April.
Dutch national Richard De Wit, 43, denies her murder in a trial that has been running since July.
The court heard the witness was missing for "health reasons" and the case was adjourned until 17 January.
Rahim Shoda, the brother of Ms Groves' boyfriend Saeed Shoda, was due to be the fifth and final witness called by the prosecution.
Saeed Shoda, both of his parents and his uncle have already given evidence.


A crematorium in Neath Port Talbot could abolish service charges for children aged under 12.

Margam Crematorium wants to follow Neath Port Talbot council's policy for free child burials in its grounds.
At present, no fee is charged for stillborn babies or children under one, but it costs £457 for children aged one to 16. The cost for over-16s is £585.
A meeting will be held on Friday where the crematorium's committee has been recommended to scrap the fees.
Swansea Crematorium and Coychurch Crematorium in Bridgend do not charge a cremation fees for children up to 16 but there is a cost to use the chapel.
Separate fees for ashes to be interred or scattered at Margam will remain in place.
The proposal follow's Swansea East MP Carolyn Harris's campaign calling on the UK government to abolish child burial fees.
Ms Harris had to take out a loan to bury her son Martin after he died in a road accident in 1989.
In March, First Minister Carwyn Jones said he would scrap child burial fees - a move expected to cost up to £1m a year.
Councils including Bridgend, Cardiff, Caerphilly, Swansea, Torfaen and Merthyr Tydfil have already dropped their child burial fees.


A re-enactment of the funeral of the Irish republican leader Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa is due to take place in Dublin on Saturday.

O'Donovan Rossa was a renowned leader of the Fenian movement in the 19th Century seeking independence from Britain.
His burial in Dublin's Glasnevin Cemetery on 1 August, 1915, was one of the largest political funerals in Irish history.
1916 Easter Rising leader Padraig Pearse delivered the funeral oration.
The event is seen as a pivotal moment in Irish history, as several of those who attended went on to take part in the Rising.
O'Donovan Rossa 's remains had been brought to Ireland by the American liner St Paul from New York to Liverpool.
They were then transferred to the steamer Carlow, which carried them to Dublin.
In the 1850s, O'Donovan Rossa  was sworn into the Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB) known colloquially as the Fenians, a reference to Na Fianna a band of warriors who defended Ireland from invaders in Irish mythology.
The IRB was a small, secret, revolutionary body committed to the use of force to establish an independent Irish republic.
O'Donovan Rossa  was imprisoned in various jails in England for his activities and later moved to New York following his release, continuing his efforts to oppose British rule in Ireland.
The funeral cortege on Saturday is expected to feature marching bands, uniformed Irish Volunteer cavalry and a horse drawn hearse as well as a 40-strong uniformed guard of honour.
Some mourners are expected to attend in period dress.


A number of politicians have attended the protest calling for Queen's University, Belfast (QUB) to sell shares it holds in fossil fuel firms.

About 15 students, from the 'Fossil Free QUB' group, have been occupying part of the university's administration building since Friday.
A QUB spokesperson said a review of its investment policy is taking place.
The review will be completed next spring.
The spokesperson added that the university is happy to hold discussions with Fossil Free QUB, but there would be no immediate decision taken on its investment policy outside of the review.
The Green Party Northern Ireland, the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) Alliance Party, Sinn FÃ©in and People Before Profit have all expressed support for the fossil free campaign.
Belfast city Green Party NI councillor Ross Brown was at the demonstration at Queen's, and called for the university to disinvest in fossil fuels.
"There are investment indexes that exist now that exclude fossil fuels, so there's no stopping Queen's choosing those indexes and taking their money out of fossil fuels."
The Sinn FÃ©in MLA Chris Hazzard also said the university should take action now, rather than waiting for the results of a review.
"Other universities around the world, including Sheffield, have recently done this, so it's time for Queen's to do that too," he said.
Meanwhile, freedom of information requests carried out by the Fossil Free QUB organisation - and seen by the BBC - show that some of Queen's money is subsequently invested in;
However, these types of investments are not unusual, according to a wealth management expert.
Ewan Boyle, director of Johnston Campbell financial advisors, told the BBC that many organisations had diverse portfolios.
"If we look at the top 100 companies in the UK, around 25% of those have a bias towards mining or oil, so avoiding those companies if you are a large investor is virtually impossible" he said.
"Queen's are passing their money to fund managers, who are responsible for investing that money, and their primary objective is to get the best returns they possibly can."
"It's what many pension funds, and many large organisations are doing," Mr Boyle added.
"Mining and oil have been huge growth areas in recent years, so that's where the fund managers are investing to get those returns."
A Queen's spokesperson said that university business was continuing as normal, although a small number of staff in the finance office had been relocated.


Neil Lennon hopes Scott Brown makes himself available for Scotland's match against England - a game the Hibernian boss is convinced the Scots can win.

Brown returned to the fold for the 3-0 defeat away to England in November, but has yet to confirm if he will still be available for the return in June.
Lennon believes Scotland can come out on top in the World Cup qualifier and would love to see Brown feature.
"The team needs him and the country needs him," Lennon told BBC Scotland.
Brown, who worked under Lennon when he was Celtic manager, skippered the Scotland side that secured a 1-0 win against Slovenia on Sunday night to reignite their World Cup 2018 qualifying campaign.
The June Group F qualifier against England would, however, deny Brown the rest time that played a part in his initial decision to retire from Scotland duty.
But the Hibs boss reckons there is a solution to suit Brown and his club.
"The other thing is that they (Celtic) could win the league this weekend and then they don't have what you would call a meaningful game until the (Scottish Cup) semi-final, so maybe Brendan (Rodgers, Celtic manager) could tell him to go and have a week or 10 days now," said Lennon, who described Brown as "outstanding" in the Slovenia match.
"Then he'd have had a holiday during the season but before the Scotland game, then maybe more time off after that. Listen, I'm not going to tell Brendan how to do his job but that may be a solution for Scott getting more rest.
"He's looked as fresh as I've seen him in a long time so whatever they're doing in training at Celtic, it's working."
Lennon was highly impressed with how the under-pressure Scots performed against Slovenia, and reckons that lays a solid foundation for England's visit.
"I think they can beat England at Hampden," he added. "I've not been overly-impressed with England, although they are an excellent side that have quality players, but Scotland at home, off the back of a great win,  and having lost at Wembley - there's plenty of sub-plots in that one.
"If you look at the score-line against England it was 3-0, but for 65-70 minutes Scotland were, for me, the better team at Wembley. That result on Sunday will hopefully galvanise them, it puts them right back in the group and hopefully it will galvanise the support."
Lennon is, of course, close to leading Hibs to the Championship title with the Easter Road outfit enjoying a 10-point lead at the summit with seven games to play.
The first of those comes against Morton on Wednesday night and Lennon said: "It's going to be another tough game and Morton, off the back of a defeat, will be keen to rectify that.
"He (Morton manager Jim Duffy) has worked wonders, not only are they up there challenging for promotion but they made the semi-final of the League Cup as well. Jim has galvanised them and made them a real force in the league."


A 41-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the discovery of a man's body in a forest in the Republic of Ireland.

The 64-year-old's body was found close to a wooded area at Ballinascorney Hill in Brittas, County Dublin, on Friday.
Irish national broadcaster RTÉ is reporting that the man has been named locally as Michael McCoy.
Gardaí (Irish police) said they are treating the investigation as a murder inquiry.
The man was reported missing on Thursday morning after he left his home in the Ballinascorney area to walk his dogs.
Police have appealed for anyone who was in the area between 06:30 GMT on Thursday, 29 September and 04:00 GMT on Friday, 30 September to contact them.


A "substantial" quantity of suspected cocaine has been found in an abandoned van in County Fermanagh.

Police located the vehicle crashed on the Marble Arch Road, Florence Court, after 21:00 BST on Thursday.
Inside, they found what could be up to eight kilos of cocaine.
No-one was in the van. Det Insp Alan Pyper said the suspected drugs were being analysed.
"We are delighted to have recovered this quantity of illegal drugs and our inquiries are continuing to establish a quantity and value," he said.
"I would appeal to anyone who saw a red van in the vicinity of the Marble Arch Road between 21:00 and 22:00 BST last night to contact detectives on the non-emergency number 101."


Tracey Curtis-Taylor is a pilot who is attempting to become only the second ever female to fly single-handedly from Britain to Australia.

2 October 2015 Last updated at 07:09 BST
This is something that hasn't been achieved since a woman called Amy Johnson made the journey in 1942.
Amazingly, Curtis-Taylor is now planning to make the 13,000 mile flight in the same type of old aircraft that Amy flew in.
She will fly across 23 countries, making 50 refuelling stops and only use the basic flying instruments that were used 70 years ago.
She hopes to land down in Sydney, Australia in 2016.


Lewis Hamilton says his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg "complains a lot", following a tense season.

Relations between the two title rivals have cooled following a number of incidents in which Rosberg claimed Hamilton had driven too aggressively.
The world champion said: "You've seen he complains about a lot of things. But you kind of let it go over your head because that's just the way he is.
"It's kind of the different background we come from, I guess."
This is not the first time Hamilton has referred to the fact his parents split when he was young and he grew up on a council estate, while Rosberg spent his childhood in Monaco as the son of 1982 Formula 1 champion Keke Rosberg.

There have been a series of flashpoints between Hamilton and Rosberg this year, particularly at the Japanese and US Grands Prix, at both of which the German felt Hamilton had been too aggressive while passing him at the start of the race.
Hamilton, who was speaking in an interview for the BBC One F1 Review show to be broadcast on 12 December at 13:00 GMT, said: "On the racing side of things you have to be tough.
"You can't be nice out there, and go: 'Hey, here's some space.' I mean business.
"I'm not here to make friends, to finish the race and say: 'Hey, that was a lovely race, chap, you were so friendly with me, you let me win.'
"This is the one opportunity and you take it. That doesn't mean wiping someone out or cheating but you have to be fierce, strong and hard to as much of the limit as you can be.
"And you can ask every world champion, if you're on the outside, you have to back off."
The incidents at Suzuka and in Austin happened with Rosberg on the outside being forced off the track by Hamilton.
The Briton won the title in the US after Rosberg, having got back into the lead later in the race, made a mistake and ran wide, handing his team-mate victory.

In the pre-podium room afterwards, Hamilton tossed Rosberg the cap he had to wear on the podium, only for the German to throw it straight back at him.
Hamilton said he had had some second thoughts after forcing Rosberg wide at Turn One in America.
"I'm definitely a believer in karma, and while I didn't intentionally do anything, I felt afterwards: 'Ah, jeez.'
"The guys were on me, and then he got back in the lead and I thought: 'Well, that's karma, he's back in the lead so he should have nothing to complain about.'
"And then eventually I got him back later on but still he had to find something to complain about."
Hamilton won 10 of the first 16 races of the season before Rosberg won the final three grands prix after the Briton had secured the title.
Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff has said this week he will consider replacing one of the drivers if their relationship starts to damage the team.
"We struggle sometimes in winning races on Sunday and having always one upset," Wolff told Motorsport.com.
"And this spills over into the team. It is something that needs to stop.
"We will consider if it is the best set-up for the team."
He also described the dynamic between the drivers as the team's "biggest weakness".
Rosberg's contract runs out at the end of next season, while Hamilton this year signed a new deal that lasts until the end of 2018.

Too many apprenticeships in England do not help teenagers start a career or progress to higher vocational education, research suggests.

The Institute for Public Policy Research wants lower level apprenticeships replaced by a pre-apprenticeship programme addressing 16- to 18-year-olds' "distinct needs".
Its report comes as universities are awarded £4.5m to develop 5,200 degree level apprenticeships from September.
Ministers said "apprenticeships work".
Apprenticeships Minister Robert Halfon said apprenticeship programmes and traineeships were part of the government's strategy to ensure that people of all backgrounds and all ages "can get on the ladder of opportunity".
He said that the existing apprenticeship programme for 16- to 18-year olds would boost participants' earnings, "by up to £74,000 more over their lifetime, thanks to the skills they gain".
He also argued that degree apprenticeships would "give people a real chance to earn while you learn putting you on the fast-track to a top career".
Degree apprentice courses will include nursing, construction, cybersecurity, food manufacturing, health care science and early years teaching.
The IPPR report says level-two apprenticeships for younger learners "are often very job specific, do not include much off the job training, and from next year they will not be required to include a recognised qualification".
"These sort of training programmes may make sense for adults who are already in work and looking to 'top up' their skills - however, they are not sufficient to help young people with relatively low levels of education get a foot on the career ladder," it says.
The research suggests a pre-apprenticeship programme be designed to "address explicitly the distinct needs of younger learners", with more "off the job training" and general education.
It suggests pre-apprenticeships be offered by further education colleges only, targeted at young people under the age of 18 and explicitly designed to help them move on to a level-three apprenticeship at the age of 18 or 19.
The scheme would also offer employers a subsidy they could use to cover a youngster's wages.
Clare McNeil, IPPR associate director for work and families, said: "Young people often struggle to make the transition from education to work.
"Our apprenticeship system is failing too many young people. It is just not giving them the opportunity they need to build a successful career, and to make the most of their talents.
"Britain can't afford to waste young people's talents like this anymore.
"Our system needs to help business and training providers to work together to deliver radically better training for these young people, learning from the best systems around the world."
David Hughes, chief executive of the Association of Colleges, said: "The AoC has been calling for the introduction of a pre-apprenticeship offer for some time, so it's good to see other organisations pushing for the same idea, even if we probably need to debate the level at which that is delivered."
In March, the Social Mobility and Child Poverty Commission warned the government's apprenticeships drive was failing to deliver for young people in England.


Forward Shay McCartan believes Accrington Stanley can extend their unbeaten run to the end of the season.

Accrington are one of the form teams in League Two, having extended their streak without defeat to 10 games.
McCartan scored an 89th minute free-kick to earn a 1-1 draw with Grimsby, and the 22-year-old is confident John Coleman's side can keep it going over the remaining eight fixtures.
"We don't fear anybody now," he said. "That's the mentality we have."
McCartan has been a major part of Stanley's improvement, having scored eight goals in his last 13 league matches to help them move up to 15th place.
They are yet to lose at home in 2017, but despite being safe from relegation and 10 points outside the play-offs, McCartan thinks they have plenty of motivation for the rest of the season.
He told BBC Radio Lancashire: "To not lose in 10 games is a great achievement, especially considering the position we were in six weeks ago. It shows how strong the lads are mentally, but we've got to keep it going.
"We can go unbeaten until the end of the season, 100 per cent. We've played most of the big boys. We've got Plymouth coming up, but we know we can beat them.
"That's our mentality. As the gaffer said after the Morecambe game, we're a team of winners now."


A "drugs lord" who felt "untouchable" and two of his associates have been jailed for a cocaine conspiracy.

Ian McGuigan, 39, of Ty Croes, Anglesey, was locked up for eight years after admitting conspiracy to supply cocaine and a firearms offence.
Anthony Donovan, 33, and Brian Townsend, 36, both from Liverpool were jailed for four years and eight months for the drugs charge.
Caernarfon Crown Court heard it was an "unsophisticated" drugs enterprise.
On 5 September, McGuigan was filmed by police handing over more than Â£35,000 in cash to Donovan and Townsend, who officers described as "drug couriers".
North Wales Police said McGuigan was watched stashing cocaine in a field, which officers searched and found drugs worth up to Â£176,000.
Officers also found eight hollow point bullets "designed to expand on impact" in his car and a taser disguised as an iPhone in his home.
McGuigan was given a concurrent five year sentence for these offences.
Speaking after the case, Det Ch Insp Brian Kearney said: "Ian Paul McGuigan was considered by some as 'Anglesey's drug lord' where in fact he was a leech preying on the vulnerable in our towns and villages whilst portraying himself as a legitimate car dealer and horse breeder.
"Until his recent arrest he believed he was untouchable."


Almost 2,000 new species of plant have been discovered in the past year, according to a report by The Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew.

Many have potential as food crops, medicines or sources of timber.
However, scientists say some of the newly-discovered plants are already at risk of extinction.
They are developing new ways to speed up the discovery and classification of plants to help safeguard them for future generations.
The second annual assessment of the State of the World's Plants by scientists at Kew found that 1,730 plants were recorded as being new to science in 2016.
They include 11 new species from Brazil of the Manihot shrub known for its starchy root, cassava.
Seven species of the South African plant best known for red bush or rooibos tea were discovered, of which six are already threatened with extinction.
Other discoveries include new relatives of Aloe Vera, widely used in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries.
Prof Kathy Willis, director of science at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, said the new discoveries hold "huge promise" for the future.
"It's really important to find these new species because they may well hold the genetic code - or the key - to more resilient food crops from pests and pathogens and climate change into the future," she said.
"If we lose those crops or plants that provide really important natural capital for human well-being - so for example plants that draw down atmospheric carbon dioxide, plants that maintain and enhance our soils, plants that are important for fuel, for medicines, for fuels - if we lose those, that's the end of humanity."
Researchers at Kew are trying to identify which plants are most at risk of extinction by looking at the global distribution of plants and the identification and naming of new species.
The knowledge is being used to designate protected areas for plants around the world, including several in Africa.
Kew's seed conservation project at Wakehurst Place in Sussex stores more than two billion seeds from global plant species as a "living collection of seeds".
Lara Jewitt, nurseries manager at Kew, said some of the plants kept in the nurseries at Kew are the last of their kind in the world.
"We have about 10,000 species here, 29% of which are natural source - so that means they've been collected from the wild," she said.
"That makes them much more important for conservation, for scientific research, for restoration. This is a living scientific collection - so it's incredibly important."
Interesting specimens include an orchid from the forests of Cambodia that was brought back to Kew for further study. It has flowered in the tropical nursery, allowing it to be identified as new to science.
"In the tropical nursery we have a target list of everything's that endangered," said Lara Jewitt.
"My team pollinate those plants and they collect seed. Then that seed gets banked in the Millennium Seed Bank and that's banked forever."
The report also revealed that a growing number of plants have had their genomes sequenced to find out more about their biology.
The tally now stands at more than 200, including food and drink favourites such as pineapples, strawberries, coffee, wine, chocolate and beer.

Five men have been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after a girl aged 12 was killed in an apparent hit-and-run in Oldham.

Helina Kotlarova was killed on New Year's Eve. Her cousin Zaneta Krokova, 11, was said to be critically ill in hospital after the crash.
The men - aged 59, 48, 38, 23 and 18 - remain in police custody.
The girls had left a shop near their homes when they were hit by a car in Ashton Road at about 19:15 GMT.
Greater Manchester Police said the driver of the car did not stop.
Helina's sister Sylva, 19, earlier said the two girls were holding hands as they crossed the road, while out with a larger group of family and friends who had already crossed and were waiting on the opposite pavement.
"She had asked mum for Â£2 as she just wanted to buy some food," she said.
"It is just hard to believe she has gone, she was just too young."
The family of seven sisters and one brother came to England from the Czech Republic eight years ago.
Sgt Lee Westhead from the force's serious collision investigation unit, said: "These are tragic circumstances where a young girl has lost her life.
"Another girl is currently fighting for her life in hospital and specially trained officers are supporting the families involved.
"Officers are trying to establish exactly what happened and we have a dedicated team working to locate the person responsible.
"We are currently carrying out extensive door to door inquiries and have five people in custody, but our investigation continues.
"If you saw a black Golf or a dark Peugeot 807 in the area then I would urge you to contact us.
"We are also keen to speak to the driver of a white van who was driving on the road around the time of the collision."


Bentley says the development of a luxury car will result in 1,000 new jobs in the UK.

The carmaker is investing Â£800m at its headquarters in Crewe to develop and build the sports utility vehicle (SUV), which will compete with cars like the Range Rover.
Bentley's owner, Volkswagen, considered making the car in Bratislava, Slovakia, where it already builds SUVs.
The British government lobbied to keep the project in the UK.
Prime Minister David Cameron was at the announcement at Bentley's headquarters.
"I am delighted that Bentley will be building their new vehicle here, not only creating a thousand jobs, but safeguarding many more, as well as increasing training opportunities for highly skilled apprentices," he said.
Chairman of Volkswagen Martin Winterkorn said: "The Volkswagen Group believes in the UK as a competitive location for industrial production.
"Together we will make this new Bentley another true Bentley - powerful, exclusive and successful."
The new car is due to go on sale in 2016.
It will be Bentley's fourth model joining the Flying Spur, Continental GT and the Mulsanne.


The Football Association has confirmed 32 grassroots leagues in England will trial sin-bins in the 2017-18 season.

The "temporary dismissals" will apply to selected divisions in England's 'step seven' - six tiers below the National League - and leagues below.
Players will now spend 10 minutes out of the game if they are shown a yellow card for dissent.
Men's, women's, adult, youth, Saturday and Sunday leagues have all been picked for the pilot scheme.
The FA said 130 leagues registered interest in the trial and a mixture of leagues across the country were chosen.
Clubs are normally charged a £10 fine for each yellow card but the FA will not be charging this administration fee for those that participate.
Step seven is the bottom level of English football's National League System, which feeds into the country's professional leagues.
The highest league within that structure - step one - is the National League.


World number two Andy Murray overcame fellow Briton Kyle Edmund 7-6 (11-9) 6-2 to make the China Open semi-finals.

Murray, 29, came through an even first set via a tie-break, but found himself a break down early in the second.
But Edmund, who will rise into the top 50 after beating Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut to make the least eight, then lost three straight service games to allow his compatriot through.
Murray will face Spain's David Ferrer in the last four.
It was a heartening performance from Edmund, who hung tough with Murray in the first set despite failing to win a single point off the Scot's first serve.
The 21-year-old Yorkshireman, who was ranked outside the top 100 in February, was edged out in the tie-break and then ran out of steam after a promising start to the second.
Murray has lost just once in 11 Tour level meetings with other Britons, going down in straight sets to Tim Henman in Bangkok in September 2006. He beat Edmund at the Aegon Championships quarter-finals at Queen's earlier this year in their only previous meeting.
The other semi-final will see Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov play Wimbledon finalist Milos Raonic of Canada.
Dimitrov ended the challenge of Spanish second seed Rafael Nadal in the quarter-finals with a 6-2 6-4 victory.
It is the first time Dimitrov has beaten the 14-time Grand Slam champion and he is aiming to reach his third final of the year.
Raonic advanced after a 6-4 6-4 win over Spain's Pablo Carreno Busta.


People expect far less from their employers than they did a generation ago, says Ewart Keep, professor of education, training and skills at Oxford University.

"The world has changed profoundly", Prof Keep told the BBC. "If you'd been able to take a skilled manual worker from 25, 30 years ago in the Tardis and bring them to now, they would be astonished at what's happened to the kind of jobs that they used to be doing".
Professor Keep was commenting on pay levels revealed in the first part of BBC Radio 4's series The New Workplace.
To help understanding of the changing workplace, Whitbread, the large British-based hospitality and services company, opened its doors to the BBC at all levels of the company.
Once famous for Whitbread's Best Bitter, with all the industrialised, unionised processes required to manufacture beer, Whitbread has transformed itself over the past 20 years.
Today Whitbread owns Costa Coffee, the largest chain of coffee shops in the UK, Beefeater Restaurants and the fast-growing budget hotel chain Premier Inn.
Whitbread has 45,000 employees, yet is run by a strategic management team of just 60.
The company is now "very lean", Louise Smalley, Whitbread's Human Resources director told the BBC.
Ms Smalley has been with Whitbread for 18 years. She says new technology is a key reason Whitbread's former layers of middle management disappeared.
"Often you needed middle management to collate the data", Ms Smalley said. "Technology has enabled that to happen instantly. That's a world away from what we had historically so we don't need those middle management layers."
Like most companies in its sector, Whitbread no longer recognises trade unions. Whitbread has always paid above the national minimum wage, but otherwise pay in the company is set by supply and demand.
According to Jim Slater, Managing Director of the Costa coffee shop chain, there is no shortage of potential workers.
"Last year we opened a new store in Nottinghamshire," Mr Slater told the BBC, "and we had over 200 applicants per position in that store".
Even in hot-spots such as London, Brighton or Bristol, Mr Slater says, "We always are inundated with applicants for jobs".
Mr Slater told the BBC that the functions middle managers used to perform are now carried out much closer to the workplace.
Staff in each Costa coffee shop use small tablet computers to track and plan staff hours, supplies and sales. The information is instantly available to Mr Slater and to Whitbread's senior management team.

"We offer enormous amounts of training and development," Mr Slater told the BBC, "and the chance to experience a big business like Costa, and then move up the job grades and the pay bands accordingly."
Coffee shop staff may now be responsible for the functions of the former middle managers, but Mr Slater acknowledges it is at far lower pay differentials than before.
Narrow differentials for additional responsibilities apply across Whitbread's businesses.
When Stuart Mapplebeck was recruited by a new Premier Inn in Halifax, he was one of the city's small army of young "Neets" - people not in education, employment or training.
When he started, Whitbread paid him just above the national minimum wage, now £6.50 an hour.
Today, after in-house training, Mr Mapplebeck is a reception team leader. He is now also directly responsible for recruiting and supervising 10 Premier Inn staff.
For these additional responsibilities, Mr Mapplebeck is now paid £8.16 an hour - equivalent to around £17,000 for a 40-hour week.
Whitbread today doesn't require qualifications. Instead, the company looks for people with the right attitude and a commitment to customer service.
"If you come to work for Whitbread," Mr Mapplebeck told the BBC, "there's three main things that you need to be: genuine, confident, committed.
"Money matters to everybody," Mr Mapplebeck added. "But it's definitely not the focus for me. I would rather go to work and love my job than focus just solely on the monetary aspect."
Czech-born Eva Duskova, the assistant manager of Costa Coffee Beaconsfield, echoed that view.
"I would say that I have got confidence in what I am doing," Ms Duskova told the BBC. "I love the responsibility and I know that the rest of the team in our store are listening to me when I am trying to help them. It is a really good feeling".
At Oxford University, Professor Ewart Keep is not surprised that among the Whitbread staff the BBC met, there appeared to be little complaint about the small differentials workers are now paid for additional responsibilities.
Prof Keep says the same is true across large parts of the new British workplace - particularly in the lower-paid service sector.
"We've down-shifted the expectations that a lot of people have of what they're going to get out of work," he told the BBC. "Vast rafts of workers in retail, cleaning, hospitality, social care are not unionised and it's much easier for a lot of employers particularly in the service sector to offer wages that are not far above the national minimum wage."
Following Chancellor George Osborne's budget announcement of a new national living wage of £7.20 for workers aged 25 or over from next April, employers will be required to pay lower-paid staff more.
Whitbread Chief Executive Andy Harrison says about half his 45,000 staff are over 25. Although he says Whitbread has for many years supported raising the national minimum wage, Mr Harrison says he was surprised by the extent of the chancellor's increase.
"A good proportion of our employees over 25 will benefit from the new living wage," Mr Harrison told the BBC. "We will need to finance those pay increases through investment in improving quality and value."
Mr Harrison says the new living wage means Whitbread's present pay differentials will have to be rethought. It will also encourage the company to step up its already extensive programme of in-house training.
"As the cost of our people increases," Mr Harrison told the BBC, "it will provide an additional incentive to invest in training and technology, so that we can use people more effectively. Training increasing skills which increases people's productivity, their output, which delivers a better experience for our customers and more value for our shareholders".
But Whitbread is unlikely to experience much pay pressure from staff - at least if Stuart Mapplebeck is typical.
Mr Mapplebeck now aspires to run his own Premier Inn - being responsible for the entire hotel operation and managing around 30 staff.
And the pay he now hopes to get for that? £18,000 a year.
Michael Robinson's series The New Workplace starts on Saturday 1 August on BBC Radio 4 at 12:00pm.
