:00:18. > :00:21.the UK general election? The Labour Party
:00:22. > :00:23.unveils its manifesto - And is this the doctor's

:00:31. > :00:33.start-up which says it has the recipe for
:00:34. > :01:01.preventative healthcare. Lots more in the programme including
:01:02. > :01:03.news from Ford of significant job losses.
:01:04. > :01:05.Today the UK's Labour party will release its manifesto ahead
:01:06. > :01:10.Although the formal announcement is expected in a few hours time,
:01:11. > :01:13.last week a leaked copy of the document revealed Labour's
:01:14. > :01:15.plans to scrap the government's existing white paper
:01:16. > :01:21.The Conservative manifesto is expected in the next few days.
:01:22. > :01:26.So where do the two parties stand on Brexit?
:01:27. > :01:31.The Labour Party favours managed migration,
:01:32. > :01:33.but will stop short of committing to
:01:34. > :01:38.unlike the Conservatives which has pledged to limit net migration
:01:39. > :01:45.Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party says it wants to retain the benefits
:01:46. > :01:48.of the European Single Market and will negotiate on that basis.
:01:49. > :01:51.By contrast, Theresa May's Conservative paper has suggested
:01:52. > :02:00.it is prepared to take the UK out of the Single Market if necessary.
:02:01. > :02:05.Labour has also rejected the idea that Britain can leave
:02:06. > :02:07.the European Union without first agreeing a formal trade agreement.
:02:08. > :02:22.Meanwhile, Theresa May's says "no deal is better than a bad deal".
:02:23. > :02:35.head of the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
:02:36. > :02:48.Welcome to you both. Clearly the UK general election is the focus here
:02:49. > :02:54.and Brexit is one of the main issues voters will be thinking about. Give
:02:55. > :03:02.us your take on how important the election is for the Mac
:03:03. > :03:08.negotiations? I think the fact that Theresa May is basically putting her
:03:09. > :03:14.job on the line and is organising a general election means there is some
:03:15. > :03:22.willingness on the UK side to compromise and to actually get to a
:03:23. > :03:28.good deal on the Mac and my experience in Brussels, judging from
:03:29. > :03:34.what negotiators and EU officials have said, I do not think there is
:03:35. > :03:39.so much of a negative stands. I think there is a lot of goodwill to
:03:40. > :03:45.make this happen as smoothly as possible. With the French election
:03:46. > :03:50.out of the way and the German election not so far away, it is all
:03:51. > :03:58.about domestic politics at the moment? Yes, of course, but people
:03:59. > :04:02.like Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron, I do not think we should
:04:03. > :04:10.expect them to really complicate things. The real chance to get
:04:11. > :04:19.Brexit smoothly is time. Both sides have to agree the terms of Britain's
:04:20. > :04:47.except in two years and how the status of Britain will look like
:04:48. > :04:51.afterwards. Some trans -- some the chamber of commerce and industry is
:04:52. > :04:57.trying to get the voice of business in this election. What do you make
:04:58. > :05:03.of what you hear from Labour and the Conservatives? Our members really do
:05:04. > :05:10.want a transition period. Time to make sure we do not fall off a cliff
:05:11. > :05:17.in two years time. Both parties will talk about what that period will
:05:18. > :05:23.look like what will be in there because that is going to be
:05:24. > :05:29.important. Our members have a number of worries and concerns about the
:05:30. > :05:37.effects of the Mac. The prime one of those is access to Labour. Huge
:05:38. > :05:43.number of people who work and make London a great success, the world
:05:44. > :05:47.city that it is, our world and National 's and we have to make sure
:05:48. > :05:51.they are able to remain. Everybody talks and says they will be a right
:05:52. > :05:59.but we need someone definitive work on that. The free movement of people
:06:00. > :06:04.and your concern is what that means in that negotiations process and
:06:05. > :06:11.that is something Brussels will not want to write on at all. From our
:06:12. > :06:16.point of view, it is a practical thing. London has always been a bag
:06:17. > :06:22.of four people from all over the UK, the world and, of course, Europe. We
:06:23. > :06:31.are talking about skilled Labour from brain surgeons, two Bristows.
:06:32. > :06:38.We need to keep London a world city. We understand that the referendum
:06:39. > :06:44.was fought in many parts of the country on a worry about immigration
:06:45. > :06:49.but the worry in London is that we do not have enough of it so we will
:06:50. > :06:56.be looking for some certainty on that. Thank you very much to both of
:06:57. > :07:03.you for your time this morning. The Labour manifesto will be released
:07:04. > :07:07.later on today and there will be a lot of detail as to what is in it
:07:08. > :07:13.and what it means, on the BBC website and radio.
