Hello. Coming up on the Sunday Politics, in the South West. The | :37:11. | :37:14. | |
man who says he can't afford flood insurance, and has little hope the | :37:14. | :37:20. | |
Government will help him. And for the next 20 mince I am joined by | :37:20. | :37:24. | |
the Conservative MP George Eustice and Anne Mallalieu. Welcome both of | :37:24. | :37:29. | |
you. Let us start with the plan for regional pay in the NHS. Three | :37:29. | :37:33. | |
weeks' ago the Government seemed to be standing firmly behind the South | :37:33. | :37:39. | |
West Health Trusts proposing this. Health Minister soub describe them | :37:39. | :37:44. | |
as mature. Her fellow Health Minister Dan Poulter appeared to | :37:44. | :37:48. | |
perform a dramatic U-turn. There is a general agreement we need to | :37:48. | :37:53. | |
maintain national pay frameworks, provided they are fut for purpose. | :37:53. | :37:58. | |
I think he will find that the South West pay consortium, who have been | :37:58. | :38:02. | |
heavy handed in the way they have conducted their affair, will also | :38:02. | :38:07. | |
see the benefit of maintaining national pay frameworks. So, George, | :38:07. | :38:11. | |
people ra going to be confused by this -- are going to be confused. | :38:12. | :38:14. | |
Does the Government support the South West looking into regional | :38:14. | :38:19. | |
pay or not? I think there is a pretty clear indication there from | :38:19. | :38:24. | |
Dan Poulter they feel the South West consortium hasn't handled this | :38:24. | :38:28. | |
very well. There would be agreement about that. What about as far as | :38:28. | :38:33. | |
Anna Soubry goes, saying it was responsible. There is a difference | :38:33. | :38:36. | |
of emphasis. The important thing to bear in mind it has been possible | :38:36. | :38:40. | |
for PCTs to negotiate their own terms and conditions with staff. | :38:40. | :38:47. | |
Since 2004 most have used the agenda for change mechanism, and | :38:47. | :38:49. | |
the majority will probably continue to do that. But I think it is | :38:49. | :38:54. | |
important to remember with 70% of all the costs that PCTs have, being | :38:54. | :38:59. | |
in staff costs, I think it is wrong to completely rule out any changes | :38:59. | :39:04. | |
at all to pay and conditions. appears to be a communications | :39:04. | :39:09. | |
break down, is it embarrassing for you? Where the consortium would | :39:09. | :39:13. | |
agree, the way this came out caused some alarm. They are not talking | :39:13. | :39:18. | |
about cutting pay, they are talking about changing shift patterns for | :39:18. | :39:21. | |
instance, which most people would think more sensible. People have to | :39:21. | :39:26. | |
ask the question if it is a choice between cutting frontline services | :39:26. | :39:29. | |
or having more flexibility in pay and conditions which should you do | :39:29. | :39:32. | |
it would be wrong to rule out flexibility in pay and conditions. | :39:32. | :39:37. | |
What is Labour's position? In is a good shambles. It is not just one | :39:37. | :39:41. | |
minister knowing what the other one is saying, the Government is saying | :39:41. | :39:46. | |
we want localism, people taking decision at local level and local | :39:46. | :39:49. | |
people making the major decisions as oppose to Westminster, and when | :39:49. | :39:53. | |
they do they say we don't like this at all, we think this should be a | :39:53. | :39:58. | |
central decision. The option to set pay at a local level did exist | :39:58. | :40:02. | |
under Labour, didn't it? This did. What is happening now the | :40:02. | :40:06. | |
trusts are being encouraged to do a great many things they were never | :40:06. | :40:10. | |
encouraged to do before, such as buy supplies and so on. I think | :40:10. | :40:15. | |
this trust has made a big decision which is a mistaken one, because I | :40:15. | :40:22. | |
think that if you do, if you offer lower wages here than elsewhere, in | :40:22. | :40:25. | |
the short-term you won't fill posts, and I don't think they are queuing | :40:25. | :40:28. | |
dough the road at the hospitals at the moment to come and work in the | :40:28. | :40:31. | |
South West trust, and secondly, in the long-term, I am afraid you are | :40:31. | :40:35. | |
not going to attract the highest quality of people and Health | :40:35. | :40:40. | |
Services will suffer here. Briefly George? It is important they carry | :40:40. | :40:43. | |
the unions and industry and employees with them on this. This | :40:43. | :40:47. | |
is where things have gone wrong. Anne says people won't be queuing | :40:47. | :40:52. | |
up for job, they may go elsewhere. What is more likely we are not | :40:52. | :40:57. | |
talking about paying people less, no-one will have a pay cut but | :40:57. | :41:02. | |
there might be more flex bill in shift patterns. If you can protect | :41:02. | :41:06. | |
the front line by having flexibility, it is not something | :41:06. | :41:11. | |
they should rule out completely. The coalition's flagship Welfare to | :41:11. | :41:15. | |
Work programme was heralded as a break from the past. The Government | :41:15. | :41:18. | |
says the not-for-profit organisations who help the long- | :41:18. | :41:21. | |
term unemployed find jobs are saving taxpayers thousands, but | :41:21. | :41:26. | |
Labour say the scheme is a flop and figures released this week make | :41:26. | :41:31. | |
uncomfortable reading bg here in the south-west the figures are | :41:31. | :41:38. | |
especially alarming. Roxanne is 22, and one of the lucky one, she has | :41:38. | :41:43. | |
started a full-time job with a housing association. Beforehand, | :41:43. | :41:48. | |
Roxanne was unemployed for over a year. What has helped her and 1300 | :41:48. | :41:52. | |
others in the region get a job is the Government's new work programme. | :41:52. | :41:58. | |
You know, I have never had full- time work before, it has always | :41:58. | :42:02. | |
been part-time. To be honest, I never thought I would have a job | :42:02. | :42:09. | |
that I would enjoy so much as I do here. Roxanne has been taking part | :42:09. | :42:14. | |
in an experiment, where firms and charities are paid to help find | :42:14. | :42:18. | |
jobs for the long-term unemployed, while she has benefited not even is | :42:18. | :42:23. | |
so impressed as details of the work programme's first year emerged. | :42:23. | :42:28. | |
figures show the work programme isn't working, in fact it's a | :42:28. | :42:31. | |
miserable failure and the reason it is a failure is because the | :42:31. | :42:33. | |
Government is not showing its responsibilities to make the work | :42:33. | :42:37. | |
available for people. The scheme marked its first birthday with | :42:37. | :42:45. | |
figures showing that of the 8 -- 878,000 who were referred, 31,000 | :42:45. | :42:50. | |
were employed for at least six months. The Government's minimum | :42:50. | :42:54. | |
target was 5.5% of the total to have been helped. The figures show | :42:54. | :43:00. | |
it is 3.5. It is worse in the south-west, where one of the main | :43:00. | :43:05. | |
providers Prospect has only found long-term employment for 2%. | :43:05. | :43:08. | |
Government ministers though are still up beat. This scheme isn't a | :43:08. | :43:12. | |
failure. It is getting people into work, off benefit, that is what the | :43:12. | :43:17. | |
scheme was designed to do. We need to get the providers to work harder, | :43:17. | :43:21. | |
to share data, to improve their performance. But in the past, | :43:21. | :43:26. | |
ministers have had their doubts about whether the programme can | :43:26. | :43:30. | |
deliver. This charity was one of several providers in the region | :43:30. | :43:35. | |
that has gone into administration. And earlier this year North Devon | :43:35. | :43:40. | |
MP Nick Harvey questioned the scheme. He wrote to Chris Grayling | :43:40. | :43:44. | |
saying the funding model is in trouble. All of this alarmed some | :43:44. | :43:48. | |
of those desperately looking for work. This Plymouth man expects to | :43:48. | :43:52. | |
join the scheme after being out of work for 11 months. I do feel that | :43:52. | :43:56. | |
the large amount of money they are spending would better creating new | :43:56. | :44:01. | |
jobs instead of trying to get people into jobs that don't exist. | :44:01. | :44:04. | |
The work programme has been described as a giant dating agency | :44:04. | :44:09. | |
for jobs. Trying to match the long term unemployed with a long-term | :44:09. | :44:14. | |
job. True love rarely runs smooth and some argue the programme is on | :44:14. | :44:22. | |
the rocks. But in Redruth things are going strong for Roxanne. Good | :44:22. | :44:26. | |
news for people like Roxanne, we saw ta, but in the south-west only | :44:26. | :44:31. | |
2% of those people who signed up for this scheme have got a job for | :44:31. | :44:35. | |
longer than six months. George, is it working? Well, I think if you | :44:35. | :44:40. | |
focus on the figures over six months you are going to get the | :44:40. | :44:44. | |
figures you have reflected. That is the idea, back in to long-term. | :44:45. | :44:49. | |
There are 200,000 people, one in four have done some work and come | :44:49. | :44:53. | |
off benefits for a period. Which is the first step. These are people | :44:53. | :44:57. | |
who have been long-term unemployed. It is... But they are back | :44:57. | :45:00. | |
unemployed now. One of the things I have raised with ministers myself, | :45:00. | :45:06. | |
is that because we are in a challenging labour market, where | :45:06. | :45:10. | |
there is high unemployment, we may need to tweak and refine the way | :45:10. | :45:12. | |
the programme works and particularly the payments that go | :45:12. | :45:18. | |
to the providers, but the scheme's ultimately a good scheme. Better | :45:18. | :45:22. | |
than the new deal scheme the previous Government had. Why? Only | :45:22. | :45:26. | |
2% of people are getting a long- term job. Actually, Government | :45:26. | :45:30. | |
modelling suggests that 5% of people would get a job any way, so | :45:30. | :45:34. | |
at 2%, you are better off not to sign up to this scheme. You are | :45:34. | :45:38. | |
keep going on about the 2%. One in four people have done some work, | :45:38. | :45:43. | |
and that is the first step to them getting back into a long-term job. | :45:43. | :45:46. | |
It works, because it is payment by result, what happened in the past | :45:46. | :45:53. | |
you had providers going through the motions, ticking box, not helping | :45:53. | :46:00. | |
people. Because is payment by result it challenges providers to | :46:00. | :46:03. | |
think carefully about who they engage and the support they offer | :46:03. | :46:06. | |
people. Anne, George is saying your scheme didn't work, under Labour | :46:06. | :46:10. | |
the scheme isn't working, is that fair? I don't think it is fair. A | :46:10. | :46:14. | |
great many people benefited, particularly from the new deal. But, | :46:14. | :46:20. | |
this scheme, we all want to work, we all desperately agree people | :46:20. | :46:23. | |
shouldn't be long-term unemployed and we shouldn't have generations | :46:23. | :46:27. | |
of people and in families who have never worked. We shouldn't have | :46:27. | :46:31. | |
people better off not working than working. All that that Iain Duncan | :46:31. | :46:36. | |
Smith has tried to do is right. isn't it working? Why are only 2% | :46:36. | :46:42. | |
of people getting a job? The first thing I would want to know what are | :46:42. | :46:49. | |
the explanation for the difference, up in Thames Valley it is 5%. | :46:49. | :46:52. | |
is possibility the jobs aren't here. That is a possibility. What is | :46:52. | :46:55. | |
important is growth F there is growth in an area and jobs are | :46:55. | :46:59. | |
being created there is much more opportunity to find people to fill | :46:59. | :47:06. | |
those jobs. George?. The frame with the two contractors have taken | :47:06. | :47:10. | |
different approaches. Prospects have tended to sub contract the | :47:10. | :47:15. | |
entire package to smaller charities, group, whereas Working Links have | :47:16. | :47:19. | |
take an different approach. They take each of the clients through | :47:19. | :47:23. | |
the programme and buy in specialist support from small charity, who | :47:23. | :47:28. | |
focus on individual areas. This is to do with the training. Now we are | :47:28. | :47:32. | |
saying there aren't the job for people in the south-west, so may | :47:32. | :47:36. | |
you are barking up the wrong tree. Maybe you need investment for the | :47:36. | :47:40. | |
jobs in the first place. I don't accept that, the work programme is | :47:40. | :47:43. | |
designed to help the long-term unemployed. We have to recognise | :47:43. | :47:48. | |
the fact that in the last ten years, where we had rising employment, the | :47:48. | :47:53. | |
jobs were being filled by people coming in from abroad and from | :47:53. | :47:56. | |
immigrants because we weren't managing to get the long-term | :47:56. | :47:59. | |
unemployed back to work. So let us put that to Anne. In the last ten | :47:59. | :48:03. | |
years we weren't able to get people back in to work. Maybe the level of | :48:03. | :48:07. | |
investment in the south-west needed wasn't happening during the boom | :48:07. | :48:11. | |
times. I think you are right on that. I think there has been a lack | :48:11. | :48:15. | |
of investment in infrastructure, that is apparent now, but I think | :48:15. | :48:19. | |
what is crucial is that we look to how we avoid the problem we have | :48:19. | :48:23. | |
got into, with the welfare state generally. This was part of the | :48:23. | :48:27. | |
scheme, your Government has produced. These figures are | :48:27. | :48:30. | |
disappointing for everybody. What a minister should be doing now is | :48:30. | :48:33. | |
saying we have got to make sure we understand why this is not | :48:33. | :48:38. | |
happening, as we hoped it would. If it is not going to work, we have to | :48:38. | :48:42. | |
pull the plug on it and not let it run for five years and we have to | :48:42. | :48:45. | |
be looking at what the alternatives are we should be doing at the same | :48:45. | :48:51. | |
time. That means investment. Moving on then to the floodwater, the | :48:51. | :48:54. | |
floodwaters may be going down but the issues they raised are still | :48:54. | :48:59. | |
high on the political agenda. On Friday, the Government announced an | :48:59. | :49:03. | |
extra �120 million for the flood defence budget but council leaders | :49:03. | :49:08. | |
in the South West say the region needs more money for roads and rail | :49:08. | :49:11. | |
network. Flood victims are still waiting to find out whether the | :49:11. | :49:14. | |
Government will help them get insurance. This package was put | :49:14. | :49:20. | |
together before the announcement on flood defences. The storms that hit | :49:20. | :49:23. | |
the south-west haven't just left hundreds of properties in deep | :49:23. | :49:26. | |
water. The Government's come under inceeing pressure over its funding | :49:26. | :49:31. | |
of flood defences. -- increasing. The Prime Minister visited Devon, | :49:31. | :49:35. | |
he had this to say. We have to make sure that the Environment Agency | :49:35. | :49:40. | |
put in place good flood defence, there are lessons to learn and I | :49:40. | :49:45. | |
wanted to come here and hear it for myself. Some say that was a bit | :49:45. | :49:49. | |
rich. The Government has cut 30% from investment in flood defence, | :49:49. | :49:52. | |
one of the biggest cuts it has made to any area of Government spending. | :49:52. | :49:56. | |
I said when it did this this would be a false economy, because for | :49:56. | :50:01. | |
every pound you spend on flood defences you save �8 in avoided | :50:01. | :50:07. | |
flooding and the cost and misery. Ben Bradshaw says his constituency | :50:07. | :50:11. | |
is a case in point. The flood defences here worked this time, but | :50:11. | :50:16. | |
there are warnings that the 50- year-old system is? Urgent need of | :50:16. | :50:20. | |
a �25 million upgrade. The question is, where all this money is going | :50:20. | :50:23. | |
to come from. David Cameron's encouraging the idea of private | :50:24. | :50:28. | |
money being used for flood defences, and some councillors in Exeter say | :50:28. | :50:33. | |
local businesses will have to find the missing �6 million the city's | :50:33. | :50:36. | |
project needs. But the Prime Minister's coalition colleagues in | :50:36. | :50:39. | |
the south-west believe the region does need extra Government support. | :50:39. | :50:45. | |
Not just for flood defence, but for repairs to our roads and railways. | :50:45. | :50:50. | |
We have the needs down here as much as everywhere else. What we don't | :50:50. | :50:54. | |
always get is a fair share, in my view, we have got to lobby better | :50:54. | :51:00. | |
for ourselves, so that we get the support down here, that we can | :51:00. | :51:06. | |
improve. We are very much the end of the line, in some respects. | :51:06. | :51:14. | |
Government's also under pressure over flood insurance. Lost | :51:14. | :51:19. | |
withyell's's owner Joe's shop flooded and he can't afford the | :51:19. | :51:26. | |
flood cover now. The Nobody will touch me for flood unless a pay a | :51:26. | :51:31. | |
lot. I have none. That is it. deal between the Government and | :51:31. | :51:35. | |
insurers that means flood victims are offered cover, even if it is | :51:36. | :51:40. | |
pricy runs out next year. The industry says with state help it | :51:40. | :51:47. | |
could offer cheaper premiums to people like Joe. We call it flood | :51:47. | :51:51. | |
Rewhich provides for affordable and available flood insurance for those | :51:51. | :51:55. | |
at highest risk. We need Government support. Over the long-term there | :51:55. | :52:01. | |
will be enough money in this flood in insurance fund but we need their | :52:01. | :52:04. | |
support in case a large flood happens in the first year, before | :52:05. | :52:08. | |
there is enough to pay for the claims fully. Negotiations over | :52:08. | :52:11. | |
this are said to have reached deadlock, David Cameron said he | :52:11. | :52:15. | |
will take a tough approach. Joe is worried if he is flooded again he | :52:15. | :52:20. | |
will lose his business. Last weekend he says all he could do was | :52:20. | :52:27. | |
watch the swollen river with his fingers firmly crossed. George, | :52:27. | :52:31. | |
this �120 million for flood defences announced on Friday, is it | :52:31. | :52:35. | |
the mission by the Government that it was wrong to cut the flood | :52:35. | :52:40. | |
defence budget? No, I think it is adding to what we are doing. It is | :52:40. | :52:46. | |
worth bearing in mind that flood defence and capital spending is the | :52:46. | :52:51. | |
singer in DEFRA, huge amounts. There was going to be about 2.2 | :52:51. | :52:56. | |
billion going on flood definances to give new protection to 140,000 | :52:56. | :53:01. | |
homes. The additional money today in the the most pressing areas, | :53:01. | :53:08. | |
allowing another 50 or so schemes will protect another 60,000 homes. | :53:08. | :53:14. | |
I know Ben Bradshaw says it was cut, you have to put that in con tect | :53:14. | :53:17. | |
tect, the Labour Government said they were going to cut spending. | :53:17. | :53:21. | |
The new Government hasn't cut any furtherment we have gone out of our | :53:21. | :53:25. | |
way to find new money for infrastructure. These cuts would | :53:25. | :53:28. | |
have had to happen any way because they had to find the savings and | :53:28. | :53:33. | |
the last Government were going to do the same. The keelings | :53:33. | :53:38. | |
Government is doing a good thing now? It is doing a good thing in | :53:38. | :53:42. | |
putting money in on Friday, thank goodness, but we have been | :53:42. | :53:46. | |
underspending for years on flood defence, everyone has to accept | :53:47. | :53:50. | |
that. We have been building in places we shouldn't have been. We | :53:50. | :53:53. | |
have not been spending money on infrastructure to deal with getting | :53:53. | :53:58. | |
water away, and the result is not just people who have got know no | :53:58. | :54:01. | |
insurance, can't afford the premiums but people who can't move | :54:01. | :54:04. | |
because no-one will buy their houses because of the insurance and | :54:04. | :54:07. | |
the flooding position. What should the Government be doing? They have | :54:07. | :54:12. | |
to get a deal in place with the insurer, there were questions last | :54:12. | :54:18. | |
week in the Lords. Is that why this money is announced. As a bargaining | :54:18. | :54:23. | |
tool with the insurers: I am not sure I am on the DEFRA Select | :54:24. | :54:27. | |
Committee. We have been pressing the Government on this for the last | :54:27. | :54:30. | |
18 month, they need to get a new deal in place when the one that was | :54:30. | :54:35. | |
set up in 2008 that ran for five years expires. Why is there a | :54:35. | :54:40. | |
problem? There appears to be deadlock over the detail. Perhaps | :54:40. | :54:43. | |
bring man ship going on. The Government is going to make sure | :54:43. | :54:48. | |
there will be some deal in place to replace the old one when it expires | :54:48. | :54:52. | |
next year. You mentioned the issue of billing on flood plain, we have | :54:52. | :54:57. | |
problems with the railways we have seen last week, the railways were | :54:57. | :55:01. | |
closed, why have we seen such a lack of investment in things like | :55:01. | :55:06. | |
the railway, what should be done about that? I can't answer that. I | :55:06. | :55:10. | |
don't think anybody can. We ought to have been channelling more into | :55:10. | :55:13. | |
long-term investment and allowing what were boom year, and there is | :55:13. | :55:18. | |
no way round that. I don't just point my finger at the Labour Party | :55:18. | :55:22. | |
and the Labour Government for that, it has been going o on for many | :55:22. | :55:24. | |
many years. We face this problem, particularly in Cornwall, where | :55:24. | :55:29. | |
they say we can't make the business case stack up to do this investment | :55:29. | :55:31. | |
in rail. I don't think... It does come back to the discussion about | :55:31. | :55:34. | |
the jobs, you have to have the infrastructure in place if you are | :55:34. | :55:39. | |
going to bring more businesss to the area. I would like to see a lot | :55:39. | :55:43. | |
more rail investment in the far south-west. We have billions of | :55:43. | :55:48. | |
pounds going into high speed rail links. What are you going to do | :55:48. | :55:54. | |
about it? I have been putting pressure on the franchise to get | :55:54. | :55:57. | |
agreement. Cornwall Council are going to work with Network Rail and | :55:57. | :56:01. | |
the franchisees on this. Do you think we will see... What upsets | :56:01. | :56:05. | |
people is they see money going elsewhere, and it is not coming | :56:05. | :56:10. | |
down here, is it. That is very upsetting. It upsets me as much as | :56:10. | :56:16. | |
anybody else. That is why I and all the other MPs in Devon and Cornwall | :56:16. | :56:20. | |
push it, we meet regularly to talk about rail infrastructure in Devon | :56:20. | :56:24. | |
and Cornwall. We are pressing the case, with the new franchise coming | :56:24. | :56:29. | |
up there is an opportunity to think creatively and work with Local | :56:29. | :56:33. | |
Authorities, using European money we can qualify for as well, | :56:33. | :56:37. | |
sometimes. We have move on, now we have our regular round up of the | :56:37. | :56:47. | |
:56:47. | :56:50. | ||
The Campaign to Protect Rural England was alarmed when the | :56:50. | :56:54. | |
planning minister said we should build homes on another 3% of the | :56:54. | :56:58. | |
countryside.. If they want to have people able to bring up their kids | :56:58. | :57:01. | |
in a small house with a garden, they have got to accept that we | :57:01. | :57:07. | |
have got to build more on some open land. The plan to put a minimum | :57:07. | :57:12. | |
price on alcohol moved forward. The launch of the consultation was week | :57:12. | :57:18. | |
welcomed, but Ben Bradshaw said it would never happen and said he | :57:19. | :57:23. | |
would buy Sarah Wollaston a crate of cider if it did. MPs said | :57:24. | :57:29. | |
National Park member should be directly elected. If we want | :57:29. | :57:31. | |
thriving businesses, communities in our National Parks, then we need to | :57:31. | :57:36. | |
make sure that decisions are taken by people chose been by the local | :57:36. | :57:40. | |
communities, and there was a wee problem in Parliament for Ben | :57:40. | :57:50. | |
:57:50. | :57:52. | ||
Bradshaw. Urine pouring through the ceiling of his commons office. | :57:52. | :57:56. | |
Mr Bradshaw. It's a new meaning to flooding. Minute mull pricing for | :57:56. | :58:01. | |
alcohol, do you think it will happen? Ben Brad Shaw says not. | :58:02. | :58:07. | |
What is your take on it. It is a very powerful drinks industry at | :58:07. | :58:11. | |
work, I know people think it makes a huge difference, you look at | :58:11. | :58:16. | |
countries where alcohol is cheaper they don't have our binge drinking | :58:16. | :58:20. | |
culture, the problem is the culture rather than the cost. You think it | :58:20. | :58:24. | |
will happen or you don't? I think it is doubtful. The drinks industry | :58:24. | :58:29. | |
is very powerful. OK. George what do you think? Will this happen? | :58:29. | :58:32. | |
mean I think it could happen, the Prime Minister has indicated he is | :58:32. | :58:36. | |
keen on this idea. I think it is something we should look at, | :58:36. | :58:41. | |
because you know over the last ten, 20 years we have put up beer duty | :58:41. | :58:46. | |
and duties on alcohol, being detrimental to pubs, that is a bad | :58:46. | :58:50. | |
thing, we should encourage people to drink socially, in pubs when | :58:50. | :58:53. | |
sometimes perhaps if they have to drive they have to limit to one | :58:53. | :58:58. | |
drink any way. What we have encouraged by having too high | :58:58. | :59:03. | |
duties in pubs is a culture where people go to the supermarket and | :59:03. | :59:08. | |
buy cheap alcohol and preload. Drinking before they go out? They | :59:08. | :59:11. | |
get hammered before they go out and you end up with fights and all | :59:11. | :59:15. | |
sorts of problems. This is a major issue for people operating | :59:15. | :59:20. | |
nightclubs, they have people turn up... We need to encourage a quick | :59:20. | :59:26. | |
bet in the studio who will it happen, won't it happen? I think it | :59:26. | :59:32. | |
will happen. If I will have to buy cider because Sarah won't drink it. | :59:32. | :59:38. |
