Popping into the Woolpack Pub on-set, Prime Minister David Cameron<\/strong> and Chancellor of the Exchequer<\/strong> George Osborne<\/strong> met trainees who are gaining hands-on experience on the show as part of a scheme using Government funding accessed via the Employer Ownership of Skills Pilot<\/strong> and supported by Creative Skillset.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The visit also included a behind the scenes tour of the long-running soap which makes 312 episodes a year making it the UK\u2019s highest volume drama.<\/p>\n

The set visit came after the Prime Minister and the Chancellor had earlier set out in speeches, a Long-Term Economic Plan for Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire, within which the contribution of the creative industries was cited as a key driver of economic growth locally.<\/p>\n

Regional screen agency, Screen Yorkshire, has seen 24 different productions contracted in the region in the last two years alone through its Yorkshire Content Fund.<\/p>\n

\"Rt<\/a>
Rt Hon George Osborne MP<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Chancellor said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Yorkshire is fast becoming a centre for film and television production and is home to the fastest growing digital sector outside London. Our long-term economic plan for Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire backs the growth of the creative industries where it already employs over 157,000 people.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Emmerdale is a great example of this, supporting over 300 jobs and adding real value to the local economy. It has become part of the fabric of British daily life for over 7 million viewers, and it was a pleasure to meet the cast and crew.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
