:07:02. > :07:07.to find he did not get any government help. With a couple of
:07:07. > :07:09.days until the government budget report, we have been looking at
:07:09. > :07:19.what local companies need to get going again. Here is our
:07:19. > :07:19.
:07:19. > :07:25.correspondent. You have passed the baton to a small business that has
:07:25. > :07:30.put Bristol on the map with design and starter packages. These offices
:07:30. > :07:34.are really good and they have put a stamp on the place. They do clever
:07:34. > :07:40.things here. Like many companies, they leave manufacturing to people
:07:40. > :07:44.abroad. A long way from here. We talk about China. In China, it is
:07:44. > :07:54.the year of the dragon and people in this company know all about

:08:50. > :08:54.We are shipping from the far east and we have got a much more
:08:54. > :09:01.sustainable project and production because we are not shipping as far.
:09:01. > :09:05.It is a lot more energy efficient as well. It has created 20 jobs in
:09:05. > :09:12.Devon and has allowed for further expansion. But this equipment is
:09:12. > :09:17.expensive. We are spending half a million on new equipment.
:09:17. > :09:22.manufacturers' like this previously had to write off 40 % of that
:09:22. > :09:26.investment against the tax bill. That has been halved to 18 %.
:09:26. > :09:30.have heard the government saying they are supporting manufacturing
:09:30. > :09:36.but when we get down into that, we have not got much support and any
:09:36. > :09:40.would be welcome. We have decided that we cannot get it all down
:09:40. > :09:44.straight away because it is not possible financially but with more
:09:44. > :09:49.support we can bring more products back quicker and employ more people
:09:49. > :09:53.and equal pay for itself. It was my pleasure to meet the manager last
:09:53. > :09:58.night in a special debate on the Budget which you can see later
:09:58. > :10:05.denied. Along with entrepreneurs like him, we had politicians and
:10:05. > :10:11.apprentices. We had a very interesting debate. Do you think we
:10:11. > :10:15.will get any tax relief on the Trunki? Well, he would have thought
:10:15. > :10:21.that capital allowance for machinery and manufacturing would
:10:21. > :10:26.be the talk in the public house. It is not usually dad. It is more
:10:27. > :10:31.about tax. This could be what makes the difference. Also among the
:10:31. > :10:36.politicians, Clare Parry, an MP from Wiltshire, very close to
:10:36. > :10:41.George Osborne, was present and she responded. We have got the most
:10:41. > :10:46.complicated tax system in the world. I am 6 ft tall and it comes back up
:10:46. > :10:52.to my hip. The first thing the Chancellor did was cut corporation
:10:52. > :10:56.tax and said it would be the lowest in eg 20 in five years. He cut the
:10:56. > :11:00.rate for small businesses further. We might get some allowances which
:11:00. > :11:08.would make sense and I would like to see some for capital investment.
:11:08. > :11:13.But we must stop fiddling about and micro-manage in. Can they get
:11:13. > :11:20.manufacturing going again without sorting out the tax business? You
:11:20. > :11:24.like these small details, don't you? Jobs come from investment and
:11:24. > :11:29.that is the dilemma. His investment about capital allowances and tax
:11:29. > :11:35.breaks for money spent on equipment or does it come from a low headline
:11:35. > :11:38.corporation tax? It appears that is what the markets are doing. The
:11:38. > :11:44.international markets will invest in this rate. That has been a great
:11:44. > :11:49.success for the industry. Look how the motor industry has been helped.
:11:49. > :11:54.I do agree that with something like the Trunki, it could lose out to
:11:54. > :11:59.what they had before because of capital allowance. That is where
:11:59. > :12:04.manufacturing, they would rather have something just for them?
:12:04. > :12:07.Investing in equipment, it would be better to have capital allowances
:12:07. > :12:10.but the big picture is international investment. That is
:12:10. > :12:18.very important and I think that is why corporation tax is very
:12:18. > :12:23.important. More about that on Wednesday. But he did not have to
:12:23. > :12:30.wait until Wednesday for the Points West debate just after 11 o'clock

:14:22. > :14:25.behaviour was appalling, you intimidated and threatened your

:22:57. > :23:01.the opportunity to climb Everest for such a fantastic calls. Most
:23:01. > :23:05.people in the army would have jumped at that opportunity. I
:23:05. > :23:10.wasn't going to work for a year so I thought there was a fantastic
:23:10. > :23:16.opportunity. We wish you the very best of luck.
:23:16. > :23:20.Thank you for coming in. One of the country's finest
:23:20. > :23:24.examples of Roman archaeology is being shown off to the public
:23:24. > :23:29.following an 18 month conservation project. Some of the mosaic at
:23:29. > :23:33.Chedworth Villa in Gloucestershire have not been on display for 150
:23:33. > :23:40.years and a new building has gone up to house them and protect them.
:23:40. > :23:45.-- mosaics. They have lain here for the past
:23:45. > :23:50.1,600 years, remains of what was once the largest and most luxurious
:23:50. > :23:54.country villa in Roper and Britain. When the Victorians built a hunting
:23:54. > :23:57.lodge they cover much of the precious flooring with a layer of
:23:58. > :24:03.tarmac. That is being carefully peeled back.
:24:03. > :24:08.It is amazing, the colours are the main thing that strikes you. Blue,
:24:09. > :24:13.red, white. They are fresh. You can imagine what they would have looked
:24:13. > :24:18.like when they were being reduced and walked on.
:24:18. > :24:21.Today children from local schools came to enjoy what was on offer,
:24:21. > :24:28.dressing up and making medicine under the watchful eye of a Roman
:24:28. > :24:31.soldier. The Romans left in square houses.
:24:31. > :24:40.They were very clever people and imaginative.
:24:40. > :24:44.Some of them were rich people. They had quite a lot of slaves.
:24:44. > :24:49.This building has been incredibly carefully designed to respect the
:24:49. > :24:53.original fabric of the building. This suspended walkway it means
:24:53. > :24:59.people can peer through and enjoy the mosaic without damaging it in
:24:59. > :25:03.any way at all. This was how Chedworth Villa used to look.
:25:03. > :25:09.Mosaics were covered by basic sheds. A far cry from this modern piece of
:25:09. > :25:13.architecture. Conservation and preservation are what matter here.
:25:13. > :25:21.Archaeologists and historians want to keep the golden age of Roman
:25:21. > :25:25.Britain alive. As I was leaving the Cilfton
:25:25. > :25:32.Suspension Bridge gemma was just turning up and she is there to
:25:32. > :25:42.bring this powerful weather forecast. -- bring us hour full
:25:42. > :25:51.
:25:51. > :25:58.Glorious sunshine, staying dry. The best of the sunshine today. It was
:25:58. > :26:04.clear skies all day. The wind got in the way at times. It didn't stop
:26:04. > :26:09.the temperatures achieving double figures across the board. In more
:26:09. > :26:15.sheltered spots you could feel the warmth of that sunshine. Generally
:26:15. > :26:19.with the wind it was 11 degrees. The reason the weather is staying
:26:19. > :26:25.so settled is because of high pressure. If we take a look at the
:26:25. > :26:34.pressure chart you can see the area of high pressure over us. It shifts
:26:34. > :26:39.eastwards a little bit tomorrow then swings back to the West. A
:26:39. > :26:44.settled picture for the rest of the week. This evening and tonight, a
:26:44. > :26:51.cold at the moment pick getting milder as cloud spills in. -- but
:26:51. > :26:58.getting milder. We may see some patchy drizzle in the cloud. It
:26:58. > :27:03.lifts the temperatures so by the end of the night about six or seven.
:27:03. > :27:11.Tomorrow, a much milder start. Increasing amounts of cloud. The
:27:11. > :27:19.best we can hope for is something in a cloud. Temperatures across the
:27:19. > :27:24.board into double figures. Prolonged periods of sunshine.
:27:24. > :27:34.Cloud spills in after that making for a mile tonight. The outlook is
:27:34. > :27:36.
