:41:46. > :41:51.carbon dioxide which spews out from his chimneys. This will be the
:41:51. > :41:54.largest capture plant of its world of its type in the world, and the
:41:55. > :41:59.learning is important in terms of developing industry. So this
:41:59. > :42:02.industry is ready to demonstrate seer to capture in a large scale.
:42:02. > :42:07.That larger-scale would involve fitting full-scale car-bomb
:42:07. > :42:11.captured plants at all Yorkshire's coal-fired power stations. The
:42:11. > :42:16.liquified gas is pumped away by pipeline along with emissions from

:42:25. > :42:32.You can see how big this project is - miles and miles of pipe right
:42:32. > :42:38.across Yorkshire. It is going to take a lot of patience and a lot of
:42:38. > :42:43.money for this project to succeed. The project is nothing that we have
:42:43. > :42:47.not done before. The process is all exist, but the challenge is to do
:42:47. > :42:53.it at a much larger scale than ever before, and at a way which is
:42:53. > :42:57.integrated. But certainly it is achievable if the financing and its
:42:57. > :43:01.planned commission come together in the next few years. On the billions
:43:01. > :43:05.of European and matching taxpayers' money can afford to take the risk
:43:05. > :43:09.that it will work. A decision has to be made within months.

:43:37. > :43:45.controls are going to kick in relatively soon, he is it crucial

:43:57. > :44:04.And then longer term, once the infrastructure is in place you
:44:04. > :44:07.would have a hub for low car-borne projects and applications. In terms
:44:07. > :44:11.of a catalyst for growth and employment this can be very

:45:18. > :45:23.many say the signs is as yet unproven. Is this a huge gamble?
:45:23. > :45:27.it is important that the science does stack up. It should do, but it
:45:27. > :45:32.is also important that private money comes in as well. My
:45:32. > :45:36.understanding is that many of these projects, a huge number we have got
:45:36. > :45:39.in Yorkshire and Humber, if with a great opportunity because of our

:47:01. > :47:07.carefully on insuring value for taxpayers when it puts his money
:47:07. > :47:10.aside. That is why we are leading a cross-party campaign to get the
:47:10. > :47:14.green investment bank in Leeds and Yorkshire. We have got a huge
:47:14. > :47:18.opportunity here but we have to demonstrate on every project the
:47:18. > :47:23.taxpayer is getting value for money. Godfrey Bloom, whether you like the
:47:23. > :47:26.technology or not or you believe in man-made climate change, this could
:47:26. > :47:30.potentially create thousands of jobs in Yorkshire at a time we
:47:30. > :47:34.desperately need them. No, it is the opposite. The problem we have
:47:34. > :47:40.with all this carbon-dioxide nonsense that is being talked down
:47:40. > :47:43.Cubbon tax credits and so on, he is it makes our energy too expensive.
:47:43. > :47:48.So our manufacturing industries are being exported to China and the Far
:47:48. > :47:53.East. This is costing us thousands of jobs, and they are closing the
:47:53. > :47:58.jobs in Teesside and Cheshire. The chemical plants, the aluminium
:47:58. > :48:03.plants. This is all about screwing the poor Auld working man he is in
:48:03. > :48:09.the North of England who has got a job in manufacturing. It is killing
:48:09. > :48:15.our manufacturing industry. Dunion, is it going to hurt the Little
:48:15. > :48:19.People's profits? Godfrey is a climate change denier. But I think
:48:19. > :48:22.we have got to be in the 4th front in Britain of all these
:48:22. > :48:28.opportunities in green energy. Whether you believe in climate
:48:28. > :48:32.change or not, gas, call, a whole set of fossil fuel reliance. We
:48:32. > :48:36.have got to get stuck in here and be at the forefront of this new
:48:36. > :48:41.innovations. The Duke of Edinburgh has been quoted saying that wind
:48:41. > :48:46.farms are are useless and those who believe in them are living in a
:48:46. > :48:51.fairy-tale. But think he has employed Godfry as a scriptwriter.
:48:51. > :48:55.One thing you can say about the Duke, he tells it how it is. He is
:48:55. > :49:01.right, it is nonsense and it is about transferring wealth from poor
:49:01. > :49:05.people to rich people. What about the jobs on the Humber. Jobs entire
:49:05. > :49:11.by manufacturing. Higher energy costs jobs, it does not produce
:49:11. > :49:15.jobs. If there was not taxpayers' subsidy is, there would not be as
:49:15. > :49:20.significant -- single winter pine in the country.
:49:20. > :49:24.Joe Neots Smith, can you say that at the time when many people are
:49:24. > :49:30.facing fuel poverty, they should pay more on their energy bills to
:49:30. > :49:34.pay for wind farms? I am not a great fan of wind farms, I have a
:49:34. > :49:38.bit far constituency in England and I have not seen yet the evidence
:49:38. > :49:42.that putting two or three wind farms in beautiful villages across
:49:42. > :49:47.Yorkshire makes sense. I think we have to look at these different
:49:47. > :49:51.technologies individually. A case unproven for wind farms. Do you
:49:51. > :49:56.think Yorkshire it could be at the centre of the green energy bomb?
:49:56. > :50:00.again that is why I am backing this campaign to get the Green
:50:00. > :50:07.Investment Bank for Britain in Yorkshire. If we have a whole range
:50:07. > :50:12.of projects and Community energy projects in my constituency in
:50:12. > :50:16.settle. If we are at the forefront of this area and we have to stay
:50:16. > :50:20.here and played for Britain. Godfrey, shouldn't you be more
:50:20. > :50:25.optimistic? This could be the start of a new broom in this Driffield
:50:26. > :50:30.Show up. Thousands of jobs. jobs subsidised by the taxpayer are
:50:30. > :50:35.not real jobs. We need to create wealth and create cross. As Winston
:50:35. > :50:38.Churchill said, you do not bat by taxing and spending. It is like
:50:38. > :50:41.trying to pick yourself up by standing in a bucket. We need real
:50:41. > :50:46.jobs, not bogus jobs like these jobs.
:50:46. > :50:50.We will leave that for now, because claims that the public services in
:50:50. > :50:54.parts of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire a struggling to cope because of the
:50:54. > :50:57.impact of immigration are being looked at by researchers at the
:50:57. > :51:02.Home Office. In a week when unemployment reached its highest
:51:02. > :51:06.level since 1996, people in one Lincolnshire town have been
:51:06. > :51:15.preparing to march in protest at the number of jobs taken by migrant
:51:15. > :51:19.workers. This is the man who was prepared to
:51:19. > :51:24.take to the streets of his home town to protest against the impact
:51:24. > :51:30.of migrant workers. Dean Everitt had been planning an anti-
:51:30. > :51:35.immigration March, which was due to take place in Boston this week.
:51:35. > :51:39.was a plasterer, self-employed. On for days I was told to leave my job
:51:39. > :51:45.and on the Saturday to Polish people came in on my place. Local
:51:45. > :51:49.people have been forced out of work, housing is in short supply, school
:51:49. > :51:54.places I getting overcrowded. Hospital waiting times a ridiculous.
:51:54. > :51:58.The town is just in a mess, and it is all down to immigration.
:51:58. > :52:03.Dean was persuaded to call off his March following talks with the
:52:03. > :52:08.local council, which has set up a task force to look at the impact of
:52:08. > :52:10.immigration on Boston. Boston is a small market town that has seen as
:52:11. > :52:15.a significant impact, a disproportionate increase on the
:52:15. > :52:18.size of its migrant population, in a relatively short space of time.
:52:18. > :52:22.We have always that the difficulty of persuading people in central
:52:22. > :52:26.Government that our population profile and the size of the
:52:27. > :52:31.population is different and larger than it appears to be from the
:52:31. > :52:35.available statistics. It is not known exactly how many
:52:35. > :52:40.foreign nationals currently live in Boston. But it has been estimated
:52:40. > :52:45.at up to a quarter of the local population, giving the town the
:52:45. > :52:50.second highest number of EU migrants outside the City of London,
:52:50. > :52:53.with some schools having up to 50 % of children with English as a
:52:53. > :52:58.second language. He in the past few days, officials
:52:58. > :53:01.from the Home Office have met with Dean Everitt and representatives
:53:01. > :53:05.from various public services here in Boston. If I am told that the
:53:05. > :53:09.Government is taking seriously the long-term impact immigration is
:53:10. > :53:13.having on this part of Lincolnshire. Last month the Prime Minister told
:53:13. > :53:17.me that more British people should be filling jobs that are currently
:53:18. > :53:22.held by migrant workers. There are a lot of jobs that are
:53:22. > :53:26.done in Lincolnshire that people come over from Europe to do, but
:53:27. > :53:31.frankly British people can could and should do. We are reforming
:53:31. > :53:36.welfare, so it is no longer being an option to sit on the Gulf when
:53:36. > :53:42.there is work available for you. My arena, who is Portuguese, is
:53:42. > :53:47.doing a child care apprenticeship. -- Marina. She people come here to
:53:47. > :53:55.live off benefits. People think that every foreigner in Boston is
:53:55. > :53:57.the same, but they are not. And many farmers say Lincolnshire's
:53:57. > :54:01.lucrative food production industry would not survive without migrant
:54:01. > :54:07.labour. I don't think we could find enough
:54:07. > :54:11.English workers to do that job. If you take 50 % a way, if what
:54:11. > :54:14.happens when we are in full swing and we find out we do not have
:54:14. > :54:18.enough workers? Were what the state of the bosses
:54:18. > :54:23.who say we need migrant workers to do double -- jobs British workers
:54:23. > :54:26.could not do? I would like to say, who would do that job -- who did
:54:26. > :54:30.their job before the mike was landed there? It was us, the people
:54:30. > :54:33.of Boston. But Home Office says its
:54:33. > :54:38.researchers are looking at the impact of migrants on public
:54:38. > :54:42.services across the country. Many here are eagerly a words --
:54:42. > :54:46.awaiting the findings. Let us go to Godfrey Bloom on this
:54:46. > :54:49.one. You have been quoted as saying that you believe migrant workers
:54:49. > :54:54.make more reliable workers than British workers. Why do you think
:54:54. > :54:57.that? This is the feedback I have got from employers, but we need to
:54:57. > :55:05.restructure the entire welfare system. We have a minimum wage
:55:05. > :55:09.policy which has -- his double that in eastern Europe. We have got a
:55:09. > :55:15.welfare state which I would argue has always been a mistake, where
:55:15. > :55:20.welfare is a lifestyle choice. What is actually happening is the market
:55:20. > :55:25.is saying we want these workers, and we want -- and there are people
:55:25. > :55:29.in Boston who would like to do the jobs, and we have a suicidal
:55:29. > :55:34.immigration policy, because our immigration policy is dictated by
:55:34. > :55:38.Brussels. This is the sort of problem we have.
:55:38. > :55:41.Chilean, do you sympathise with the people in Boston and many other
:55:41. > :55:45.towns across the country, who say public services are struggling to
:55:45. > :55:50.cope because of the sheer number of migrant workers who have come here
:55:50. > :55:56.in recent years? Yes, that is why my colleague Mark Simmons in Boston
:55:56. > :56:01.is looking at this area, and the Government is putting in place
:56:01. > :56:06.incredibly tough new restrictions on immigrants from outside the EU
:56:06. > :56:10.coming into Britain. We have also got to look at why our immigrant
:56:10. > :56:15.workers are attractive to employers. They are attractive in my
:56:15. > :56:18.constituency and across Yorkshire and I think they'd land from, one
:56:18. > :56:21.of the values the commitment the energy they bring to employers.
:56:21. > :56:26.But you are powerless to stop migrants from was EU countries
:56:26. > :56:32.coming here. If you cannot turn off the tap. The last Labour Government
:56:32. > :56:37.did not impose any restrictions on the EU migrants. But the counter to
:56:37. > :56:42.that is businesses in Yorkshire can go and trade across the EU, workers
:56:42. > :56:46.in Yorkshire can go and work across the EU. If we are better to look at
:56:46. > :56:52.what are the skills and values, what other ways of working, of
:56:52. > :56:57.these immigrant workers, and how do we as a British born workers try
:56:57. > :57:02.and match them? Then these jobs will be much more accessible --
:57:02. > :57:07.acceptable for local people. Godfry, but in many places migrant
:57:07. > :57:11.people a part of the fabric of society. They are here to stay,
:57:11. > :57:15.aren't they? This is typical of the intellectual dishonesty of the
:57:15. > :57:19.Conservative Party. You are quite right, there is absolutely nothing
:57:19. > :57:22.that can be done, and you cannot blame the previous Government. If
:57:22. > :57:26.you cannot restrict immigration from European Union countries. If
:57:26. > :57:31.people come here from eastern Europe where they are badly paid
:57:31. > :57:34.and come here to do jobs that either we will not do our cannot do.
:57:34. > :57:39.So it is completely ridiculous to say that we can do anything about
:57:39. > :57:42.it. While we are part of the European Union, our immigration
:57:42. > :57:45.policy will be decided in Brussels and not Westminster. I think a
:57:45. > :57:50.little honesty from Julian Smith would be valid for.
:57:51. > :57:54.I knew been dishonest? Are as I said, we cannot do anything about
:57:54. > :57:58.European immigration, but as I suggested, there are lessons that
:57:58. > :58:03.can be learned from immigrant workers who are coming here and
:58:03. > :58:07.proving attractive to employers. The work programme, various
:58:07. > :58:11.policies to get local workforce skilled up are important, but it is
:58:11. > :58:14.also an attitude of mind. Our British-born workers have quite a
:58:14. > :58:18.lot to learn from many of these migrants coming and taking jobs
:58:18. > :58:24.that they feel they should be getting. So how do you get, Godfrey
:58:24. > :58:28.Bloom, British people off benefits and into work? Well, the last thing
:58:28. > :58:32.you do is to pay perfectly fit young men and women to sit at home
:58:32. > :58:36.watching television. So this welfare culture which has been
:58:36. > :58:42.brought on needs to stop and is to stop straight away. We also needs
:58:42. > :58:47.to look at art education system to look at better in -- providing
:58:47. > :58:55.better educated people, and getting away from the system where people
:58:55. > :58:59.do not have the work ethic. Many -- the man in your film is being
:58:59. > :59:03.tarred with the same brush as the boy who do not have to work -- do
:59:03. > :59:08.not want to work. I feel sorry for that man has lost his job through
:59:08. > :59:13.no fault of his or her. A group of be a -- bishops have
:59:13. > :59:18.written a letter today criticising the Government's limit of �500 a
:59:18. > :59:21.week which households will be able to claim in benefits in future. The
:59:21. > :59:25.Bishop of Ripon and Leeds is leading a debate. What is your
:59:26. > :59:31.message to him? He is detached from the reality of people who are
