An initiative to ease the shortage of curry chefs

An initiative to ease the shortage of curry chefs, why VAT on takeaway food may be removed and why smaller shops are showing stronger sales.

Five centres of excellence have been opened around the UK to help recruit more people to work in the UK's curry industry - we find out how this will help ease a shortage of chefs.

Why a legal ruling in Europe could pave the way for VAT to be removed from hot takeaway food and drink, and recent sales figures show small stores are out-performing their larger counterparts. Why is this good for the wider economy?

Presented by Julian Worricker. Produced by Alex Lewis.
