Tonight at 10.30, a second strike by junior doctors in England as time | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
Not safe, not fair, Jeremy Hunt doesn't care. | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
There's still no sign of an end to the argument over pay and working | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
hours as doctors consider their next move in this long-running dispute. | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
We are coming out to say that tired doctors do not make good doctors. | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
We are seriously concerned about this new contract. | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
Nearly 3,000 non-emergency procedures were cancelled today | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
as Ministers claimed they were still ready to negotiate. | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
I think what we are proposing is going to mean that the vast | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
majority of doctors don't see their pay cut - | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
in fact many of them will see their pay go up - | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
but it will mean we can offer better care for patients. | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
But the NHS employers say time is running out, | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
hinting that a new contract could be imposed within days. | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
Scotland Yard orders a review of its procedures after criticism | :01:01. | :01:06. | |

Time is running out to agree a deal with junior doctors in England, | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
according to the man who's leading the talks | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
Danny Mortimer was speaking as junior doctors took a second day | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
of strike action in their long-running dispute over the terms | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
Some 3,000 non-emergency operations and treatments were cancelled today. | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
There's now mounting speculation that ministers will impose | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
the new contract if a deal isn't reached within days, | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
as our health editor Hugh Pym reports. | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
They came to protest at Westminster and they mounted pickets | :02:35. | :02:44. | |
and demonstrations at hospitals around England. | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
I think if we're working longer hours we're tired and we're not | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
getting the support and training that we need, then I don't how | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
Junior doctors walked out of routine and non-emergency care | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
in their dispute with the Government over pay and working hours. | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
We will stand firm for the sake of our patients and for the sake | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
of future generations of doctors of the NHS in this country. | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
A pensioners group joined junior doctors demonstrating | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
here at Milton Keynes University Hospital. | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
Patients and visitors were divided in their view on the merits | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
This isn't doctors shouldn't do that. | :03:20. | :03:30. | |
One visitor showed her sympathies by delivering food to the pickets. | :03:31. | :03:39. | |
It's the middle of the day and the Outpatient Department | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
here in Milton Keynes is usually pretty busy, but not today | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
because of the strike, though the hospital says it's | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
cancelled fewer outpatient appointments than it did on the last | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
strike day in January and it's the same story for | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
Where was he, the Health Secretary was making his case | :03:55. | :04:06. | |
that the Government had moved a long way to meet doctors' concerns | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
There's just the one issue about pay rates for Saturdays and what we're | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
offering is something that is better for doctors who work regularly | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
on a Saturday and for nurses working in the same hospital | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
and for the ambulance driver who takes a patient to the hospital | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
and for the healthcare assistants in that hospital. | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
It's a fair deal and we should be working together to do | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
So what happens next in this dispute? | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
Well, the Government's made pretty clear that if negotiations don't get | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
anywhere it will impose a new junior doctors contract and that point | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
seems to have got a lot closer given that talks have stalled again. | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
One senior NHS leader said it was legitimate for the Government | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
to consider imposing a contract, though at this hospital the boss | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
acknowledged it wasn't clear how it might work. | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
We don't know what imposition looks like. | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
What I do know is that we've got some brilliant relationships | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
with our junior doctors here and I have no doubt | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
that we will work through things here at Milton Keynes. | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
As doctors took to social media, it emerged the Government made | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
what it billed as a final offer late yesterday, | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
it was rejected by the BMA today, leaving imposition of the contract | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
NHS officials in England have told Ministers that detailed plans need | :05:16. | :05:25. | |
to be made now if a new contract for junior doctors is to be brought | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
But right now there's no sign of agreement, | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
and the prospect of imposing the new contract is growing more | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
With more detail on that and the issues at the heart | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
of the dispute, here's Christian Fraser. | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
Let's remind ourselves of the contract | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
that is currently on the table and consider for a second | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
So, we know the Government has offered this 11% rise in basic pay | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
in return for a cut in the hours that currently qualify | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
The key issue for the Government is that by the end of this process | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
Saturdays are considered a normal working day for the NHS. | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
The extra pay for unsociable hours would only start from 5.00pm | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
Sundays will still attract the higher premium. | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
Instead they want to retain the extra pay | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
for a cut in the basic salary - so instead of that 11%, | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
And that's because some junior doctors are complaining that under | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
the Government's offer their pay is going to fall. | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
They might also say - and they do - that it is about safe working hours. | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
The question is, does Jeremy Hunt impose it? | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
In the past 24 hours, the Government have sent what it | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
calls its last significant last offer, and in turn the BMA has | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
come back with its counter proposal, neither of which appear acceptable. | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
As for the NHS employers, well, they've had enough. | :06:51. | :06:59. | |
This issue can't go on forever. The NHS needs some certainty in terms of | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
how it moves forward. What Jeremy Hunt is not going to do | :07:06. | :07:15. | |
is accept any offer that makes Saturdays special, because that | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
would complicate negotiations with other groups in the NHS, | :07:19. | :07:20. | |
like the consultants, The hospitals need to prepare | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
for the next intake of junior doctors, who start work in August, | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
and the job rotations that follow. The employers say a deal must be | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
found my mid February. So what options are left open | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
to junior doctors if Mr Hunt does There's not much opportunity | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
to negotiate with Government. It's not like you can strong | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
arm them into saying, I won't work for you if you don't | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
increase my pay, but I suppose if enough junior doctors say, | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
I am not going to work on this pay, then the Government may find itself | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
having to increase pay rates And doctors will know there is an | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
the doctors, don't they. And doctors will know there is an | :07:56. | :08:05. | |
alternative. Health is an issue devolved to the nations. | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
alternative. Health is an issue have no plans to adopt the | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
Government's contract. What's more, they spy an opportunity. | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
In terms of training is running at the moment | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
In terms of training you diversity of training. | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
It is a possibility that without the right deal, | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
England could see a brain drain - with some of their brightest | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
doctors, heading across the borders - for more lucrative contracts. | :08:34. | :08:45. | |
The final decision hasn't been rubber starched but it | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
The final decision hasn't been likely it will happen in the next | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
couple of days, perhaps as early as tomorrow. The Government's chief | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
negotiator was clear tomorrow. The Government's chief | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
that went in last night was tomorrow. The Government's chief | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
final and best offer. He put that in black and white. The BMA have | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
rejected that. One of the things that has so riled doctors throughout | :09:05. | :09:06. | |
this, that they that has so riled doctors throughout | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
the Government has always said, if you don't like it, in the end we | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
might force you to take it. It looks as if that is going to happen. If | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
that happens, not withstanding the emotion and anger we've seen over | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
the last few months, would that be the end of the matter? I think even | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
after four years it wouldn't be the end of the matter. This has got very | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
bitter on both sides. Both sides frankly have got very dug in. One of | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
the interesting things about it is there are good political reasons why | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
in the end Governments have tended not necessarily to back down to the | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
BMA but certainly to give more ground to them. This time on this | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
particular issue, with the feeling that it was in the Government's | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
manifesto that they won on, and in the general election, they believe | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
that it is probably this time worth toughing it out. But that strategy | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
carries a very high risk. The relationship between the medical | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
profession, important, well respected, popular with many members | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
of the public, and did Government if it hasn't already happened is on the | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
verge of breaking down. An imposition of the contracts, which | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
the Government can do, they can rewrite them if they want but it | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
wouldn't necessarily spell the end of industrial action. I think the | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
Government is on the verge of taking this credential mover. Laura, thank | :10:24. | :10:25. | |
you. The Commissioner of | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
the Metropolitan Police, Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, | :10:30. | :10:31. | |
has asked a former High Court judge to review its procedures | :10:32. | :10:33. | |
after persistent criticism of the way it's handled allegations | :10:34. | :10:35. | |
of historical child sexual abuse Those individuals included | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
the former Home Secretary, Lord Brittan, and the former Chief | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
of the Defence Staff, Lord Bramall. Our home affairs correspondent | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
Tom Symonds has more details. The most serious allegations | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
possible have been made against men The Met said it would examine them | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
without fear or favour, but no-one's been arrested and no | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
charges are being considered. And now Scotland Yard appears to be | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
admitting it can learn some lessons from the way this sort | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
of case is handled. Surely it's right that someone | :11:08. | :11:09. | |
should look at that and try and produce some balance and perhaps | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
give some guidance about how police officers and others approach these | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
difficult and historic allegations where the evidence sometimes | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
is lost, where people's It's so easy to make allegations, | :11:19. | :11:19. | |
but then how do we prove them? I think we all need | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
to look at that seriously. The Henriques Review will examine | :11:26. | :11:27. | |
past sexual allegations involving public figures, examining police | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
procedures rather than evidence. Findings and recommendations will be | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
published, but not sensitive A key question is whether the Met | :11:38. | :11:39. | |
went too far when one alleged victim, known by the pseudonym | :11:40. | :11:47. | |
"Nick" came forward describing abuse by powerful people, | :11:48. | :11:49. | |
including Lord Bramall, one of Britain's most | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
senior soldiers. If it hadn't been so serious I felt | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
like roaring with laughter. I don't see how a level-headed | :11:59. | :12:00. | |
policeman could have believed one Nick's claim that former | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
Conservative MP Harvey Proctor killed a child is being investigated | :12:04. | :12:11. | |
by a dedicated murder squad. It is based here in Sutton, | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
South London, but with no bodies and uncertainty about who might have | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
died, the Met has faced bitter criticism that it has been too | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
willing to believe Nick's allegations and too heavy-handed | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
in investigating them. When those allegations come forward | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
it needs to be assessed if they have any basis to them at all, and, | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
if they have, investigated quickly and a decision made quickly | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
and those people not left in the public domain, | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
hung out to dry and not The Met Commissioner, | :12:43. | :12:44. | |
Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, Shortly he'll face the family | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
of the late Lord Brittan to discuss the handling of a rape | :12:52. | :12:55. | |

BBC News, Gaziantep. In a week's time, European leaders | :18:50. | :19:16. | |
will be preparing for a vital summit on the future of the EU | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
when David Cameron will be hoping to finalise his new deal | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
on British membership. That deal will then be put | :19:23. | :19:24. | |
to voters in a referendum, To get a sense of what some | :19:25. | :19:26. | |
undecided voters will be weighing up in the weeks ahead, the pollsters, | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
Britain Thinks, have helped the BBC to assemble a jury | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
of undecided voters. Our home editor, Mark Easton, | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
went to meet them in Lichfield in Across its long and troubled | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
history, Lichfield Cathedral has often borne witness to a nation's | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
divisions and its search Thank you all for coming | :19:46. | :19:47. | |
to Lichfield Cathedral, a building dripping | :19:48. | :19:54. | |
with the artefacts of Britain and Empire, and we want | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
you to think about Britain's Fist of all, come up with one word | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
that comes to mind when I say - None of our jury has made | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
up their mind how they'll vote in the EU referendum, | :20:07. | :20:17. | |
many said they didn't yet know Using clips from news reports, | :20:18. | :20:19. | |
we asked first about identity, whether EU membership dilutes | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
or enhances Britain's way of life? We can be part of the EU, | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
but also keep your own identity, and we've managed to do it | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
for so many years as it is. I think we've already submerged | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
a little bit already. Our British identity has been | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
diluted, but I think quite postively because it makes us more open | :20:40. | :20:47. | |
to greater integration. I still maintain a certain degree | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
of my cultural roots whilst living in the UK and feeling | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
part of Europe. Our jury was also asked to consider | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
the financial impact All I've read is it costs something | :21:01. | :21:03. | |
like ?39 million per day to be in the EU, but we're not informed | :21:04. | :21:11. | |
of what benefits we're getting I just feel quite ignorant | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
to it all, you know, as to what we're informed | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
and what we're told. Those figures are staggering, aren't | :21:21. | :21:22. | |
they? When you think about it, | :21:23. | :21:36. | |
?39 million, where does We are forgetting some of the major | :21:37. | :21:38. | |
issues that are lying It benefits us because, obviously, | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
if we come out of Europe we're going to have to pay | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
more to deal with them. So cost of stuff is | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
going to have to go up. If we do pull out of the EU, | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
there'll be a lot of bad feelings like it would raise | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
the prices for us. Not for us as like the general | :21:58. | :21:59. | |
public, where the businesses are and where the trading's done | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
and the deals that are made. Our final discussion focused | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
on whether the benefits of membership outweighed the loss | :22:07. | :22:08. | |
of control in terms of British law I think it's quite a positive thing | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
that I could work anywhere and a lot of my friends work in other | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
European countries. I think it's really good that we've | :22:16. | :22:17. | |
got that passport to go all around. The problem is that you are you're | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
getting people coming over or Poland or other countries | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
in the EU, very poor countries, they can come straight here, | :22:26. | :22:27. | |
not necessarily having a job and they can get | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
benefits straightaway. They've got free | :22:31. | :22:31. | |
healthcare straightaway. There are people that | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
have come from Poland, who are doing jobs - | :22:37. | :22:38. | |
without being rude to British people - that the younger people | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
in our generation just won't do. We're only small and there's only | :22:43. | :22:44. | |
so many that we can take before it, sort of, drains our resources | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
to the point where we are one of the countries that | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
will be struggling. I'm just wondering whether it is | :22:52. | :22:53. | |
just safe to pull up that drawbridge now, otherwise we will be completely | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
sucked up and dried up and Great Britain | :22:57. | :22:59. | |
won't exist any more. You can't live in splendid | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
isolation, I just don't I know it's been hard, | :23:03. | :23:04. | |
but we are going to make you choose, as you will have to in | :23:05. | :23:12. | |
the referendum when it comes. In our case, we're going to ask | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
you a simple question - A narrow 9/7 victory for staying in, | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
but our divided jury were in total agreement on one thing - | :23:19. | :23:26. | |
they all wanted to learn more and think more before | :23:27. | :23:28. | |
referendum day. Police in Germany, who have been | :23:29. | :23:30. | |
searching the wreckage of two commuter trains which collided | :23:31. | :23:45. | |
head-on in Bavaria yesterday, say all the passengers | :23:46. | :23:47. | |
are now accounted for. 10 people were killed in the crash | :23:48. | :23:50. | |
and many others injured. Reports in the German media tonight | :23:51. | :23:52. | |
suggest the investigation is focusing on human error | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
in relation to signalling. Nestle has ended its partnership | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
with the world governing body of athletics, the Iaaf, | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
with immediate effect. The company said it feared | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
that the doping and corruption surrounding the sport | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
would affect its own reputation. Last month, Adidas ended | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
its sponsorship deal with the Iaaf. The world's financial markets | :24:22. | :24:23. | |
are still gripped by uncertainty, especially about the state | :24:24. | :24:25. | |
of the banking sector. The Chief Executive of Credit Suisse | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
has insisted his bank is "stronger than ever" amid fears that Europe's | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
biggest lenders are vulnerable. The Head of the US Central Bank | :24:32. | :24:32. | |
has acknowledged fears Let's join our correspondent, | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
Michelle Fleury, in New York. Michelle. Huw, her testimony comes | :24:36. | :24:49. | |
at an important time, not since the 2008 financial crisis have people | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
been so worried about the health of the big banks, as you mentioned, in | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
particular the European ones. Now, not only did we see a selloff of | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
banking stocks in the last week, investors have raised their bets | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
that some won't be able to repay some of their riskier debts in the | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
event of a global economic recession. Also, if we continue to | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
see oil prices fall. Then, the question remains - what does all of | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
this mean for America's central bank whose job in essence is to | :25:21. | :25:23. | |
anticipate what the US economy is going to look like? Well, she was | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
sounding more cautious compared to her last appearance in December. | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
That was when the Federal Reserve raised interest rates from record | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
low levels. Since then the picture in the US economy has changed a lot. | :25:36. | :25:44. | |
Indeed, around the world. She said that financial turmoil would | :25:45. | :25:46. | |
potentially hurt growth in the world's largest economy, but, at the | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
same time, there was a glimmer of optimism shechl said it was too soon | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
to assess the damage. America continued to add jobs and for now | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
the Fed would stay the course and consider its options for raising | :26:00. | :26:02. | |
rates later this year. Michelle thank you very much for the latest | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
there in New York. Michelle Fleury, our correspondent. | :26:08. | :26:22. | |
the victims' families say there is a "compelling" reason | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
The original inquest was adjourned when six men were jailed | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
Their convictions were quashed in 1991. | :26:30. | :26:31. | |
A lawyer for the families said today that there were suspicions police | :26:32. | :26:34. | |
officers had lied during the original investigation, | :26:35. | :27:00. | |
They are the families who've campaigned for 41 years for answers, | :27:01. | :27:03. | |
sisters and brothers of some of the 21 who were killed, | :27:04. | :27:06. | |
making the case now for the inquests into their deaths to be resumed. | :27:07. | :27:09. | |
On the 21st November 1974, two bombs exploded in the heart | :27:10. | :27:11. | |
of Birmingham City centre, in two pubs full mostly | :27:12. | :27:14. | |
A terrible atrocity that killed the innocent and injured | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
18-year-old Maxine Hambleton was one of those who died, | :27:20. | :27:20. | |
And I ran upstairs and I jumped on the bed and I gave her a hug | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
I said, "see you Friday, Mackie," and that's the last time | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
Six men were convicted of the murders in 1975 and served 16 | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
years in prison before this - the moment they walked | :27:34. | :27:35. | |
Their convictions overturned in what became known | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
as the miscarriage of justice of the Birmingham Six. | :27:41. | :27:42. | |
Paddy Hill was one of those wrongly convicted. | :27:43. | :27:44. | |
Today, he too is still looking for answers. | :27:45. | :27:47. | |
We never get justice, but the one thing we can get | :27:48. | :27:52. | |
is the thing we deserve the most, and this's the truth. | :27:53. | :27:56. | |
After hearing legal argument, the coroner will now consider | :27:57. | :27:59. | |
whether the inquests can be held, four decades on. | :28:00. | :28:01. | |
Representing the victims' families, Ashley Underwood QC told her many | :28:02. | :28:06. | |
questions remain, including what West Midlands Police knew | :28:07. | :28:14. | |
He said they may have been tipped off by an IRA informant. | :28:15. | :28:17. | |
Who carried out the Birmingham pub bombings remains unanswered | :28:18. | :28:22. | |
West Midlands Police told the court their investigation | :28:23. | :28:35. | |

The owners of Liverpool football club have reversed the planned | :28:56. | :28:57. | |
increases in ticket prices for next season. | :28:58. | :28:59. | |
Thousands of fans walked out of Anfield before the end | :29:00. | :29:02. | |
of the game against Sunderland on Saturday. | :29:03. | :29:03. | |
Liverpool's American owners say they'll now freeze the highest price | :29:04. | :29:06. | |
for general admission tickets at ?59 and have apologised, | :29:07. | :29:08. | |
For 1,000 years the most significant documents of state, | :29:09. | :29:12. | |
including the Domesday Book and Magna Carta and thousands | :29:13. | :29:15. | |
of Acts of Parliament have been recorded on vellum, or calf-skin. | :29:16. | :29:16. | |
But the ancient tradition is coming to an end, | :29:17. | :29:19. | |
partly to save money, a decision which some members | :29:20. | :29:29. | |
For more than 500 years every law in the land has been stored here, | :29:30. | :29:33. | |
in the Parliamentary Archives, statutes recorded for prosperity, | :29:34. | :29:35. | |
not on paper, but on vellum, a long lasting parchment made out | :29:36. | :29:37. | |
of animal skin, but that tradition will come to an end in April. | :29:38. | :29:43. | |
For the House of Lords has decided that every new Act of Parliament | :29:44. | :29:47. | |
that's going to be kept here should be printed not on vellum, | :29:48. | :29:48. | |
which is expensive, but on special archival paper which is cheaper, | :29:49. | :29:53. | |
and not everybody's happy about that. | :29:54. | :29:54. | |
It's always a pity to give up things that you've done forever | :29:55. | :29:57. | |
unless there's a really good reason to do it and I'm not sure the cost | :29:58. | :30:00. | |
argument against the other costs in this place really stack up. | :30:01. | :30:06. | |
Making vellum takes time, money and years of training, | :30:07. | :30:08. | |
expertise some fear will be lost if this, the last firm that makes | :30:09. | :30:11. | |
the stuff, suffers by losing so much of its business. | :30:12. | :30:15. | |
We have these weird things that happen because they've been passed | :30:16. | :30:23. | |
down through the generations and it seems very strange to me that we're | :30:24. | :30:25. | |
breaking that link with our heritage. | :30:26. | :30:31. | |
But the House of Lords says that paper, like this, | :30:32. | :30:35. | |
has been used for some of its records for hundreds of years | :30:36. | :30:36. | |
already and of course everything these days | :30:37. | :30:39. | |
This is the House of Lords being responsible with taxpayers' money. | :30:40. | :30:45. | |
There is a saving of ?80,000 and the materials that are used | :30:46. | :30:48. | |
for modern-day printing are so much better. | :30:49. | :30:51. | |
So parchment that has kept the Domesday Book and Magna Carta | :30:52. | :30:54. | |
safe for centuries will no longer do for Acts of Parliament. | :30:55. | :30:57. | |
