There's been a mixed reaction to a leaked document which suggests the government is planning tight restrictions on immigrants from the European Union after Brexit.

British workers would get preference over those from EU countries in the jobs market following Brexit.

Firms would have to recruit locally unless they could prove an "economic need" to employ EU citizens.

Mike Capps employs migrant workers at his vegetable farm near Boston. He says it's been years since he took on anyone from the UK because they won't do the 'harder work':

Theresa May told the House of Commons that voters want to see controls over immigration.

But some business leaders are warning it could damage the economy.

Earlier today I told you about the issues in non-emergency transport to and from hospitals in Lincolnshire.

A member of staff from within the hospitals trusts told the BBC there's been problems since the Thames Ambulance Service Limited (TASL) took over in July, saying patients and staff face a "continuous nightmare."

Peter Titmarsh from Whaplode near Spalding missed his first chemotherapy appointment on Monday because Thames Ambulance didn't didn't turn up:

Regional Director for TASL, Sue Flintham, has now responded to these claims saying there have been early "teething problems" but they have worked work to address these.

She added the overwhelming majority of the 500 patient journeys it provides every day in the county are completed in a timely and efficient way.
