Here, what impact will changes to legal aid have? And the plan to | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
make pubs and clubs pay towards the cost of policing late-night | :01:28. | :01:38. | |

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 2438 seconds | :01:38. | :42:16. | |
A seasonal welcome to your local part of the show for the North-East | :42:16. | :42:19. | |
and Cumbria. We are talking about changes to legal aid. Will it make | :42:19. | :42:23. | |
it harder to get access to justice? And a new plan to make pubs and | :42:23. | :42:27. | |
clubs in Newcastle paid towards the cost of policing late-night | :42:27. | :42:32. | |
drinking. It could drive them out of business? Our MPs have either | :42:32. | :42:37. | |
been on holiday or back in their constituencies. The Commons has | :42:37. | :42:41. | |
only SAT for around 150 days in the last 12 months. Is that too much | :42:41. | :42:51. | |
:42:51. | :42:52. | ||
time spent away from the Westminster world? I can't remember | :42:52. | :42:55. | |
any government, including a Labour one, wanting to keep MPs that | :42:55. | :42:58. | |
Parliament. The longer they can keep us of Parliament, the better | :42:58. | :43:04. | |
for them. It's hard for the public to understand. You are there, then | :43:04. | :43:08. | |
you are back in the constituency. Should you be spending more time in | :43:08. | :43:13. | |
Parliament? Yes, I think we should be there more that we are. It's | :43:13. | :43:17. | |
nice to be back in your constituency, but we can now, it's | :43:17. | :43:21. | |
more relaxed than it was when I first work in politics, we were | :43:21. | :43:24. | |
there until Friday, but now we usually get away on the Thursday. | :43:24. | :43:29. | |
In your constituency on a Friday doing your best work in your | :43:29. | :43:34. | |
constituency. As I said before, I think it is a case of trying to | :43:34. | :43:37. | |
keep members of parliament away from Parliament, so they can get on | :43:37. | :43:43. | |
with business. Were MPs less trouble to you in Westminster or | :43:43. | :43:49. | |
kicking about the constituency? public might give an interesting | :43:49. | :43:55. | |
view on whether the MPs of the strivers or the skivers and this | :43:55. | :43:59. | |
debate. I would probably want them away from Parliament. There's a | :43:59. | :44:03. | |
parallel for councillors, where Newcastle City Council, the civic | :44:03. | :44:06. | |
centre, it's a bit of a ghost town these days compared to the days | :44:06. | :44:08. | |
when I first started. There seems to be less opportunity for people | :44:08. | :44:12. | |
to come together and debate policy, and that is what politicians are | :44:12. | :44:20. | |
there for. Our top story this week, Newcastle may be among the first | :44:20. | :44:23. | |
cities in the country to start charging pubs and clubs that supply | :44:23. | :44:27. | |
alcohol after midnight. The money raised from the late night levy | :44:28. | :44:30. | |
would be spent on the cost of city centre policing and keeping the | :44:30. | :44:34. | |
streets clean. Other councils, including York and Durham, are also | :44:34. | :44:37. | |
considering the idea. But the owners of licensed premises say | :44:37. | :44:40. | |
they already pay their taxes and the new charge could put them out | :44:41. | :44:46. | |
of business. It's almost opening time at Newcastle's head of steam | :44:46. | :44:51. | |
pub. But being open almost all hours could soon mean it paying the | :44:51. | :44:56. | |
late night Levy, a charge was serving alcohol after midnight. | :44:56. | :45:02. | |
late night levy, as we and other operators see it, is an extra cost | :45:02. | :45:09. | |
on our rates, or business rates, which we already pay. Under plans | :45:09. | :45:12. | |
by Newcastle City Council, many licensed premises opening after | :45:12. | :45:17. | |
midnight could be charged between �300 to �4,400 a year depending on | :45:17. | :45:21. | |
their size. This money, an estimated �400,000 a year, would be | :45:21. | :45:26. | |
split, with 70 % going to the police and 30 % to the council. The | :45:26. | :45:29. | |
money would be used to meet the cost of policing, cleaning up and | :45:29. | :45:33. | |
taking measures to cut down on problem drinking. So far no | :45:33. | :45:36. | |
councils in England and Wales have adopted a late-night levy, but | :45:36. | :45:40. | |
Newcastle could be among the first to do so. Something that could mean | :45:40. | :45:46. | |
some bars, pubs and clubs closing their doors forever. A at the head | :45:46. | :45:49. | |
of steam, we have a 3am licence and are basically a nightclub. What | :45:49. | :45:54. | |
would happen as a result, if we were to say, well, we can't afford | :45:54. | :45:59. | |
to pay that, we will take it back to 12 o'clock. This pub is not | :45:59. | :46:04. | |
profitable at all. It's not a case of being able to look for the levy, | :46:04. | :46:07. | |
it becomes unprofitable because the majority of our trade is in the | :46:07. | :46:12. | |
late night economy. Late night being after 11pm. We couldn't | :46:12. | :46:18. | |
sustain the business. Newcastle has a reputation as a party city, with | :46:18. | :46:21. | |
tens of thousands of revellers flocking to it on many nights. | :46:22. | :46:25. | |
While that means the police have to be out on the streets and the | :46:25. | :46:28. | |
cancer has to spend money to clean them, it also brings in millions of | :46:28. | :46:32. | |
pounds to the economy. So is the council just after a slice of that | :46:32. | :46:39. | |
cash, and is in danger of bringing the party to an end in party city? | :46:39. | :46:42. | |
The business rates are not necessarily returned to the council. | :46:42. | :46:47. | |
We have massive budget reductions come and we need to maintain the | :46:47. | :46:51. | |
environment. It's important that many people still want to invest in | :46:52. | :46:56. | |
the city because of its reputation of being safe. We want this money | :46:56. | :46:59. | |
to be used for maintaining that. There's no suggestion that this | :46:59. | :47:04. | |
money will be used for anything else. If the levy is introduced, it | :47:05. | :47:08. | |
is the police who will get the largest slice of it. Now many club | :47:08. | :47:12. | |
and bar owners are asking how one where that money would be spent and | :47:12. | :47:19. | |
who would benefit from it? Stopping crime and disorder, trying to limit | :47:19. | :47:22. | |
alcohol-related crime. There is a bit of a peak in the hours after | :47:22. | :47:25. | |
midnight of some alcohol-related offending. We would probably want | :47:25. | :47:29. | |
to tackle that, as they were themselves. That, I guess, is how | :47:29. | :47:35. | |
the levy would be used if it is executed. I can absolutely | :47:35. | :47:41. | |
guarantee that it's going to come back to Newcastle if it comes out. | :47:41. | :47:46. | |
A good night out doesn't come cheap. Newcastle city council argues a | :47:46. | :47:48. | |
late-night levy, but could be introduced in November if given the | :47:48. | :47:52. | |
go-ahead, would help to pay for it. But some bar owners say it would | :47:52. | :47:56. | |
simply squeeze them dry. The manner represents many of the pubs and | :47:56. | :48:00. | |
clubs in Newcastle who will have to pay this charges Damian Conway, and | :48:00. | :48:04. | |
he's here now. Anyone who's been in city centres at night know there's | :48:04. | :48:08. | |
a huge policing operation needed, a Mr Kinnock afterwards. Why not | :48:08. | :48:15. | |
contribute a small amount towards those costs? Firstly, there are | :48:15. | :48:19. | |
very high rates being paid by pretty much every business in the | :48:19. | :48:26. | |
city centre. The business rates are very high. But you are creating a | :48:26. | :48:29. | |
particular problem with the policing that is needed and the | :48:29. | :48:36. | |
clean-up, which isn't caused, for instance, by a department store. | :48:36. | :48:41. | |
That's true, but one of our managers said recently, we pay | :48:41. | :48:45. | |
�130,000 a year in rates and we don't even get our Vincenti to. I | :48:45. | :48:50. | |
can see where that pub manager is, object into paying more money in | :48:50. | :48:56. | |
towards the council. Some of this money will go to the police to | :48:56. | :49:00. | |
anti-crime initiatives, to ameliorate the impact of crimes | :49:00. | :49:07. | |
related to alcohol, that is a good thing to contribute to. Yes, but | :49:07. | :49:10. | |
there are already good relationships that most responsible | :49:10. | :49:14. | |
licensees have with the police in the city centre. Our head dormant | :49:14. | :49:18. | |
meet with the police every week to try and work with them to work out | :49:18. | :49:21. | |
how we can reduce crime and disorder, who should be barred from | :49:21. | :49:24. | |
the premises and general initiatives to do with many things | :49:25. | :49:33. | |
are. Secondly, every two months... I accept you are making efforts to | :49:34. | :49:37. | |
be good citizens, but you are trying to say it will drive you out | :49:37. | :49:42. | |
of business. This is �13 a night. If a pub is operating on that sort | :49:42. | :49:49. | |
of margin, it's going to go out of business anyway. We are trying hard | :49:49. | :49:56. | |
to keep our operations are open. We employed a lot of people... | :49:56. | :50:03. | |
really be closed by this? They may not be closed but staff will have | :50:03. | :50:06. | |
their hours reduced or we will have less staff. We employ a lot of | :50:06. | :50:10. | |
people at other industries won't employee, because young people and | :50:10. | :50:16. | |
youth unemployment is a problem. David Faulkner, you are a Newcastle | :50:16. | :50:22. | |
councillor, is this a good idea or not? It's a finely balanced | :50:22. | :50:28. | |
argument. The night-time economy supplies about 7000 jobs in the | :50:28. | :50:34. | |
city. We are getting a promotion of Newcastle as a party city that we | :50:34. | :50:37. | |
were trying to put behind us. It is putting the emphasis on what | :50:37. | :50:41. | |
happens after midnight and what happens as a result of alcohol and | :50:41. | :50:47. | |
clubs and pubs. My board of Newcastle is a more balanced city, | :50:47. | :50:54. | |
a more diverse offer than that. It bothers me a bit that we might be | :50:54. | :50:58. | |
on the one hand putting too much emphasis on party city. On the | :50:58. | :51:01. | |
other hand, I think there's an argument that if you are a member | :51:01. | :51:05. | |
of the public and in your neighbourhood your bins are being | :51:05. | :51:10. | |
emptied less frequently, you pass - - grass is being cut Les Bikubi | :51:10. | :51:13. | |
because it's hard times for the council, and the public purse | :51:13. | :51:15. | |
generally is having to pay extra for the consequences of late-night | :51:15. | :51:18. | |
drinking, that people might reasonably say, yes, I'm in favour | :51:18. | :51:28. | |
of it. That might be my view, on balance. Is this a tax or a | :51:28. | :51:34. | |
sensible idea? I'm on the side of the pubs. We've seen many closing | :51:34. | :51:39. | |
at a rate of knots. Although Newcastle has a good reputation for | :51:39. | :51:43. | |
a city, I hear London people talking about going up for a | :51:43. | :51:46. | |
weekend in Newcastle, so we've got to keep that reputation, it's good | :51:46. | :51:50. | |
for the area to keep people coming in. Whether this levy will do what | :51:50. | :51:55. | |
it says it will do is another matter. Newcastle United Football | :51:55. | :51:58. | |
Club have to pay for policing or towards policing, I don't think | :51:59. | :52:03. | |
they paid all, but they do have to pay towards policing. That could be | :52:03. | :52:11. | |
a point. I do realise they do pay a lot of rates. Labour introduced 24 | :52:11. | :52:15. | |
hour drinking, it is supposed to be a cafe culture. Do you see much | :52:15. | :52:21. | |
evidence of that in Blyth or beyond? I think the pubs have had a | :52:21. | :52:28. | |
rough ride in recent years. We should have had the minimum price. | :52:28. | :52:33. | |
I think it's the wrong target. The problem is with pre-loading. I take | :52:33. | :52:39. | |
the point that the bars have had a rough time, but I think the pre- | :52:39. | :52:42. | |
loading issue and minimum pricing is something that's got come back | :52:42. | :52:45. | |
onto the agenda quickly, because that's one of the real reasons why | :52:45. | :52:52. | |
our towns... In the meantime, this is a charge that is being put in. | :52:52. | :53:02. | |
:53:02. | :53:03. | ||
Is the coalition to blame for this? My view is the 2003 Licensing Act | :53:03. | :53:06. | |
has proved, in retrospect, to be wrong. Everything that councils | :53:06. | :53:11. | |
have done since is to try and claw back back somehow, to deal with and | :53:11. | :53:15. | |
mitigate the consequences of not quite 24 hour but almost 24 hour | :53:15. | :53:22. | |
drinking, and what is happening in our streets. For people to want a | :53:22. | :53:29. | |
drink outside the hours of 11pm, is that unreasonable? No, it's not, | :53:29. | :53:33. | |
but it can sometimes be quite unpleasant and intimidating after | :53:33. | :53:43. | |
:53:43. | :53:46. | ||
11pm in city centres. I understand the cost of the police, just like | :53:46. | :53:49. | |
Newcastle United, they have to pay as well. It's the same argument | :53:49. | :53:56. | |
with the pubs. Are they going to put the levy back into the drink, | :53:56. | :54:04. | |
is that where it is going? Where does this stop? You could accuse | :54:04. | :54:10. | |
pizza places and Tiger Webb places of littering the city centre. | :54:10. | :54:14. | |
should be using this kind of thing to encourage best practice. The | :54:14. | :54:17. | |
legislation allows exemptions and reductions. Reductions could take | :54:17. | :54:21. | |
place if we have a new Best Practice Scheme that we get | :54:21. | :54:25. | |
everybody, not just a few pubs and clubs, to sign up double stop them | :54:25. | :54:31. | |
they can be reductions and it is something where everybody benefits. | :54:31. | :54:34. | |
His access to justice been put under threat by government changes | :54:34. | :54:38. | |
to legal aid? That is the claim from the Law Society and some | :54:38. | :54:41. | |
Labour MPs in the region. Under the plans, defendants will lose the | :54:41. | :54:44. | |
chance to have the solicitor of their choice represent them at a | :54:44. | :54:47. | |
police station or in court. But ministers say representation will | :54:47. | :54:52. | |
be available, but there is definitely a need to reduce the | :54:52. | :54:57. | |
legal aid bill, which costs more than �1 billion a year. This is a | :54:57. | :55:00. | |
relieved young woman. Last year she was wrongly accused of assault, an | :55:00. | :55:03. | |
accusation which threatened to enter hopes of becoming a nurse. | :55:03. | :55:06. | |
She came to this local firm in Middlesbrough for Health, secured | :55:06. | :55:14. | |
legal aid and last week was cleared. It was horrendous. I wouldn't wish | :55:14. | :55:18. | |
it on my worst enemy. The anxiety and stress, and it's not just for | :55:18. | :55:25. | |
myself, it was for my family. The firm really put everything into the | :55:25. | :55:30. | |
court case to make sure that the truth did come out, so that I could | :55:30. | :55:37. | |
go and be a nurse and finish my degree. But under the new plans, | :55:37. | :55:40. | |
people like this will not be able to choose who represents them. | :55:40. | :55:45. | |
Instead, they will be allocated a solicitor who has had to compete a | :55:45. | :55:48. | |
new legal-aid contract. Those contracts will cut lawyers legal- | :55:48. | :55:53. | |
aid fees by at least 17.5 %, and in some cases by 30 %. This firm | :55:53. | :56:00. | |
believes that will kill off the traditional local solicitor. If it | :56:00. | :56:03. | |
goes, I'll be going, as will most of my colleagues, I'm certain. | :56:03. | :56:09. | |
These proposals are not survivable for the vast majority of the legal | :56:09. | :56:13. | |
profession in this country. If these proposals come in, our | :56:13. | :56:20. | |
position at the forefront of regal reputation will disappear overnight. | :56:20. | :56:27. | |
Who might fill that gap? Amongst possible bidders are supposed -- | :56:27. | :56:31. | |
G4S and Eddie Stobart. That is worrying existing lawyers, has a | :56:31. | :56:33. | |
place in private at the centre of legal-aid could undermine the | :56:33. | :56:39. | |
justice system. You have entities which will be coming into this from | :56:39. | :56:42. | |
the direction of wanting to make money out of it, and purely for | :56:42. | :56:48. | |
that reason. We know that the costs and the levels of remuneration will | :56:48. | :56:52. | |
be driven so low, that people would be able to spend the time that they | :56:52. | :56:56. | |
are currently spending. Even now, often without renumeration, to go | :56:56. | :57:02. | |
that extra length to make sure people are properly represented. | :57:02. | :57:05. | |
The government has said it is consulting on proposals and will | :57:05. | :57:08. | |
listen to concerns. But it says the legal aid bill of �1 billion a year | :57:08. | :57:14. | |
is far too high and needs to be cut. I have to find the right balance | :57:14. | :57:18. | |
between delivering Justice, delivering a system where everyone | :57:18. | :57:22. | |
has lawyers to defend them, but at the same time making sure we bring | :57:22. | :57:26. | |
down costs to spend money elsewhere. If it's a choice of spending more | :57:26. | :57:29. | |
on the health service or more on the legal system, most people would | :57:29. | :57:36. | |
say they want the health service. Middlesbrough MP Andy Macdonald | :57:36. | :57:38. | |
sits on that just a select committee, which is about to | :57:38. | :57:44. | |
examine the government plans. proposals will transform the | :57:44. | :57:48. | |
provision of criminal legal aid. There are concerns about freedom of | :57:48. | :57:52. | |
choice, access issues. It seems peculiar that we seem to be so | :57:52. | :57:55. | |
insistent about choice in health and education but here we are doing | :57:55. | :57:59. | |
away with toys. There are grave concerns about the future of | :57:59. | :58:04. | |
justice in this country. government insists the legal-aid | :58:04. | :58:07. | |
bill must come down. But while cutting the cost of justice will | :58:07. | :58:10. | |
certainly had lawyers, is every chance that innocent people could | :58:10. | :58:15. | |
pay the heaviest price? Ronnie Campbell, of the government is | :58:15. | :58:18. | |
right, this legal-aid bill is far too high and its right to make | :58:18. | :58:24. | |
changes to save money. If this government did put as much in as to | :58:24. | :58:27. | |
what we are putting in the legal aid thing and get companies and | :58:28. | :58:35. | |
multinationals to pay their tax, you wouldn't need the �1 billion. | :58:35. | :58:39. | |
What do you make of the changes to legal aid? Should they cut the | :58:39. | :58:46. | |
budget? Of course not. You'll have a big company, it's got a tender, | :58:46. | :58:56. | |
and they are going to give you a solicitor. I've got one, two in | :58:56. | :59:00. | |
Berrett, four in Blyth, none in Cramlington. I can see them, when | :59:00. | :59:04. | |
these big companies come in and get the tender in, I can see the local | :59:04. | :59:08. | |
solicitors, who are not fat cats, disappearing, because they won't | :59:08. | :59:14. | |
get the business, the business will go to the fat cats, who will make a | :59:14. | :59:21. | |
killing. Presumably, if its cuts to the bill, you would rather see | :59:21. | :59:28. | |
money spent on the health service and on legal aid. It one of my | :59:28. | :59:31. | |
constituents and - not once a solicitor and has to go to Durham, | :59:31. | :59:35. | |
Sunderland or even Middlesbrough, how is he going to get to see his | :59:35. | :59:39. | |
solicitor, the one he's been allocated to under this system? It | :59:39. | :59:46. | |
is stupidity. Should Liberal Democrats in government oppose | :59:46. | :59:52. | |
this? We should aim to change it. The way it is is unsatisfactory in | :59:52. | :59:58. | |
my view. To remove choice is disadvantageous. People will build | :59:58. | :00:01. | |
up a relationship between lawyers, solicitors and clients, and that | :00:01. | :00:05. | |
would be lost because it would just be whoever you get allocated. That | :00:05. | :00:12. | |
is a disadvantage. But I do understand, of course, this point | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
about legal-aid in this country, it costs far more than other countries | :00:17. | :00:25. | |
with comparative systems. What is the alternative? I support some of | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
the proposals. For example, the whole idea that anybody who has | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
disposable income of over �37,500 should not get legal aid is quite | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
right. They shouldn't. That's one of the reasons why the money is | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
being sucked out of the system so much in past times. There's also an | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
issue around while legal cases go on for so long, and therefore the | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
cost of legal-aid gets clocked up and clocked up. Something must be | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
done about that. I don't know if the answer is to deal with the | :00:54. | :01:01. | |
client. It needs to be changed. What is so bad about someone being | :01:01. | :01:08. | |
allocated a lawyer? It's the access to their lawyer. If the little | :01:08. | :01:15. | |
lawyers in Blyth or anywhere else in Northumberland go bust, then | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
that client has to go to wherever that law years. He may be miles | :01:20. | :01:27. | |
away. He might not be able to afford... The government have said, | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
this is the way it has to be structured, perhaps they need to be | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
fewer firms to make the money saved. There has been a lot of people | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
getting legal-aid who could afford to pay for themselves. They could | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
look at that one again, certainly. But what about the people who can't | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
afford to pay? You are stopping them from getting their justice. | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
They will be working with a solicitor, they don't know who he | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
is, they may have to travel miles to see him. It's just not on. | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
would like to see this piloted in a region, because it is a big change | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
and we need to see the consequences. Isn't this far too typical of | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
coalition policy? You think of something that will save money but | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
you don't listen to the people telling you it is a mistake and you | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
don't put it on trial. You would expect the legal profession to say | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
it is a mistake. You understand their position. But the response to | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
the consultation hasn't finished. The Desta Select Committee are | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
looking at it. They will have a view, which I hope will be taken | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
account of. All parties agree, Jack Straw as Lord Chancellor in 2009 | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
agreed that they had to be some change to the system. It doesn't | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
guarantee quality now. It just doesn't mean because you've got | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
1600 firms of solicitors involved instead of 400 that your quality is | :02:54. | :03:01. | |
going to be better. What about Eddie Stobart making money out of | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
it? When you've got a town of Bardon Mill, you have a few | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
solicitors competing for what they need to do. They keep competing on | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
their prices are competitive. These solicitors are not fat cats. They | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
are just trying to make a living. No parliament this week, but | :03:22. | :03:32. | |
:03:32. | :03:33. | ||
there's still plenty going on. A plan to turn a private school into | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
an Academy has hit trouble. King's School in Tynemouth says staff | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
support the idea, but North Tyneside council says the impact | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
upon other schools in the area must be more fully considered. North- | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
East suffragette Emily Davison was knocked down by the King's horse at | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
the Epsom Derby, 100 years ago. She later died of her injuries and is | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
buried in Morpeth. Penny Pryce- Jones is helping to organise events | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
and says her influence is still strongly felt. She highlighted that | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
women were highly intelligent. It was society and not them that were | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
limiting what was possible. Councillors in Carlisle have been | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
paying tribute to Joe Hendry, who died on Thursday following a heart | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
attack. He was also leader of Carlisle's Labour group will start | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
a campaign group which aims to put cycling at the heart of the | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
Government's transport agenda is meeting in Newcastle this weekend. | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
The Cycling Embassy of Great Britain wants new investment to | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
improve road safety. Finally, our tweet of the week comes from | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
Carlisle MP John Stephenson. He had this message for his Twitter | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
followers on Wednesday. Legs strapped, pills pop, only 300 miles | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
to go. He actually spent the week Cycling 1000 miles from Land's End | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
to John o'Groats for charity. I'll be treating this week, but strictly | :04:55. | :05:00. |
