  2. 'Staffing crisis' claim for East Yorkshire's curry restaurantspublished at 09:13 British Summer Time 9 May 2017

    BBC Radio Humberside

    Many local Indian restaurants are struggling to find qualified chefs after immigration rules were tightened and there are fears nationally that thousands of businesses could close. 

    One which has already been affected is Dine Bangala in Beverley, manager Raul Islam says it was a tough decision to have to close his restaurant.

    The government has told us that specialist chefs are only allowed in to the country if their basic salary is £29,500 and have five years worth of experience. 

    The job also can't be in a fast food, chain or takeaway restaurant.

    Maddie Jobson contacted us with her story. She told us what she wants the political parties to promise when it comes to funding the care of our elderly relatives:

    More now on UKIP Yorkshire and Humber MEP Jane Collins. Earlier we told you she was in court today over unpaid damages of £358,000

    It relates to her being sued for libel and slander by Sir Kevin Barron, MP for Rother Valley, John Healey, MP for Wentworth and Dearne, and Sarah Champion, MP for Rotherham, over a speech she made in 2014 about the Rotherham child abuse scandal.

    Today Ms Collins appeared at a private hearing at Hull County Court to discuss a demand for payment issued by the MPs' lawyers. It is understood the MEP had requested the demand was set aside but this was not agreed at the hearing. 

    A spokeswoman for Ms Collins said the judge has now ordered an examination of her assets and that she will face bankruptcy proceedings if it is found that she cannot make the payments owed.
