It's been called a tax on white van man - | :00:08. | :00:15. | |
now one Conservative MP says he may vote against plans to raise | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
The pasty tax and the caravan tax died off. If this died a death, I | :00:19. | :00:32. | |
If this died a death, I would not be disappointed. | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
on cycle lanes because of pollution and congestion. | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
After such a beautifully sunny day, what does the next few days look | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
like? Join me for the updated forecast. | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
The Conservative MP for Cleethorpes says he won't rule out a vote | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
against the government over changes to National insurance | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
Plans to raise contributions for self employed workers were announced | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
Martin Vickers says he won't be disappointed if the budget | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
We'll hear from him in a moment but first our political editor | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
Tim Iredale has sent this report from Louth. | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
It has been described as attacks on white van man, millions of | :01:25. | :01:32. | |
self-employed workers will pay ?240 more on average in national | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
insurance. It is a move affecting people like Darren, a plumber. I | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
think we are being attacked, we are an easy target because we pay taxes | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
and relive how we are supposed to live and play by the rules. The | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
Chancellor wants to create a level playing field when it comes to the | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
national insurance paid by employees and those who are self-employed but | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
that is not how business leaders see it. Some competitors are large | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
businesses in joint business rates cuts and corporation tax cuts, the | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
playing field is not being levelled, this is an unfair development and | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
should be looked at carefully and reversed. Critics say the | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
Conservative government has broken its own manifesto pledge not to | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
increase national insurance contributions, not so, said the | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
Chancellor. I am supportive of business, I believe in small | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
businesses and start-ups, the backbone of the economy but we have | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
to have a tax system that is fair as it is right we ask people to | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
contribute appropriately for the benefits they receive. No U-turn but | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
with negative budget headlines, many MPs said the Chancellor will look | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
again at this controversial tax rise. | :02:51. | :02:51. | |
Martin Vickers is the Conservative MP for Cleethorpes. | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
I asked him if the Chancellor's plan to raise national | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
Well, I have concerns and I shall be making my concerns known to the | :02:57. | :03:17. | |
ministers and the whips. Would you vote against? Lets see what the | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
finished article is. If it is as it is? I will not commit myself because | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
I have not discussed it with the minister but I am concerned about | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
the hit on the self-employed. The Conservative party pride themselves | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
on being the party of business and small businesses. More than that, in | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
four different places in the 2015 manifesto it said it will not go up, | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
this is a broken manifesto promise. Well, the defence has been that in | :03:49. | :03:57. | |
the small print it as an opt out but I accept the fact we are dancing on | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
a pinhead if we deny it. The problem is the government have locked | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
themselves into a position where they close off some in the options | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
of increasing tax that the demands for social care and so on are always | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
going to be increasing. If you are a self-employed person, a taxi driver, | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
?17,000, you will pay more money. Is that fair? What you have to do bear | :04:27. | :04:36. | |
in mind is self-employed now are getting the increased state pension | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
which they did not pay into before but I accept the self-employed do | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
not get the full range of benefits employed people do and I shall be | :04:45. | :04:45. | |
making that clear to the Chancellor. making that clear to the Chancellor. | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
If we are honest, maybe you think this would die a quick death like | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
the pasty tax? The pasty tax and the caravan tax which I fought | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
against... Would you like to see it die off? If this died a death, I | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
would not be disappointed. You could not be clearer than that. Thank you. | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
?30 million of government money is to be invested in improving | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
roads and supporting businesses in Lincolnshire. | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
The money will be used to build a new centre for health science | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
and engineering research at the University of Lincoln, | :05:23. | :05:24. | |
It will be run by Siemens and the University. | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
Anglian Water says compensation will be offered to homes | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
and businesses left without water after an underground leak | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
A thousand properties were left without water after a main burst | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
The water company say says the problem has now been | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
fixed and supplies have been fully restored. | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
The neonatal unit at Lincoln County Hospital, | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
which cares for premature and unwell babies, is to be modernised. | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
The two million pound upgrade will mean the hospital | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
will offer two intensive care, three high dependency | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
Health managers have been discussing whether to centralise the county's | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
maternity and neonatal services in Lincoln. | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
East Yorkshire MP Sir Greg Knight 'hasn't looked at the evidence' | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
according to campaigners after he said cycle lanes | :06:14. | :06:14. | |
are causing an increase in congestion and pollution. | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
The MP says too much of our roads are being made into cycle lanes | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
causing traffic to slow down which increases emissions | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
Phillip Norton has been looking at this story and joins me now. | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
Well, in East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, there are more | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
than 500 miles of cycle lanes - areas of roads and paths which can | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
help encourage people out of their cars and onto two wheels - | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
or as the MP for East Yorkshire sees them, | :06:47. | :06:48. | |
Sir Greg Knight made the comments during a debate in the commons. | :06:49. | :07:09. | |
Is there not a case for making local authorities in future take | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
into account the congestion effects of their crusade to improve road | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
space in favour of wider pavements and cycle lanes. | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
His comments have been criticised, cycling campaigners claim carbon | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
footprint of cars means they create ten times the amount of carbon | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
dioxide as bikes. For every kilometre travelled and in Denmark | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
the average person cycles 600 miles a year, compared to 46 miles in the | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
UK! It is claimed pollution in Europe could be reduced by a quarter | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
if everyone cycled as much as the Danes. Cycling UK told BBC Look | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
North the comments were not based on facts. | :07:49. | :07:59. | |
Cycle lanes enable people to use a finite amount of road space more | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
efficiently producing less pollution in the process. Hull was found to be | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
breaching pollution limits, problem linked to around 40,000 deaths every | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
year across the UK. The cyclists in the city, removing cycle lanes is | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
not the solution. If we had more cycle lanes we would be more | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
cyclists which would stop the congestion. The government has said | :08:24. | :08:33. | |
it intends to invest ?300 million on improving cycling infrastructure in | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
the UK, to get people out of their cars rather than staying in them and | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
combined with the rising popularity, he may find the suggestions struggle | :08:42. | :08:53. | |
to get the green light. Businesses claim the CCTV system is not doing | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
its job living exposed. Shop owners so there has been increasing | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
vandalism, with shop windows smashed and products stolen, the council | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
says the system is due to be upgraded over the next few months. | :09:08. | :09:08. | |
Hull's only world title winning boxer has returned to the city | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
to take centre stage at this weekend's Women of | :09:12. | :09:13. | |
Barbara Buttrick championed women's boxing back in the 1950s | :09:14. | :09:22. | |
Today Hull boxer Tommy Coyle unveiled a plaque in her honour, | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
as the 87-year-old spoke to girls about the challenges of competing | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
From back in the 1950s, they cannot imagine how much | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
the attitudes have changed and how much of an opportunity they have. | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
Three months ago, I didn't know her story. | :09:42. | :09:43. | |
It is an absolute pleasure to meet her. | :09:44. | :09:57. | |
And to put the plaque up there in the gym for her. | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
Finally, the forecast. It looks like there will be little rainfall in the | :10:04. | :10:13. | |
next 24 hours but it will cloud over after a bright start the cloud | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
courtesy of the week weather front which will bring in drizzle and the | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
emphasis is on dry weather. Good clear spells tonight, a veil of | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
cloud from the west later, a touch of ground frost in rural areas. A | :10:28. | :10:35. | |
bright start in the east with some hazy sunshine, thick cloud pushing | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
in through the afternoon, one of two spots of light rain and drizzle but | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
it looks like it will be mostly fine, 10 Celsius. The risk of patchy | :10:45. | :10:52. | |
rain this weekend. That is the forecast. That is it from us. We are | :10:53. | :10:59. | |
back in the morning on BBC One. I am back tomorrow night. Good night. | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
15, maybe 16-17. Saturday a fine day. On Sunday, cloudier, maybe | :11:03. | :11:04. | |
spots of rain. Good evening, in the spring sunshine | :11:05. | :11:15. | |
we saw temperatures as high as 17.5 Celsius. Not as warm or Sonning on | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
Friday. Still a lot of dry, | :11:19. | :11:19. |
