The increasing trend towards “re-shoring” was one of the themes of this week’s debate on the future of UK industry hosted by the veteran Yorkshire MP Barry Sheerman, co-chairman of the Associate Parliamentary Manufacturing Group

But Mr Sheerman warned employers against complacency and making the assumption that Britain will naturally create a high skill, high pay economy.

In this week’s programme, we report from the event.

Also in the programme:

• Can Yorkshire’s skills base support really specialised IT?

• The rationalised legal market in Leeds.

Digital Editor David Behrens is joined in the studio by the Yorkshire Post’s business editor Bernard Ginns and deputy business editor Greg Wright.
