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