It might be more accurate to say that Parliament is a video recording (of a
matter of public record) presented on the BBC website, which also happens to
be broadcast on television by the BBC. The Scottish Parliament, for example,
can be watched on streaming video from the SP website, without the BBC being
involved at all.
