Boris Johnson has risked a fresh row by backing celebrity chef Jamie Oliver's claim that migrant workers work harder than Britons.
The Mayor of London, speaking at the Tory Party conference, called for action to instil a work ethic in young British workers who are unwilling to jobs they consider "menial".
He acknowledged he might get into trouble by agreeing Oliver "had a point" when he suggested eastern Europeans were more prepared to put in the long hours needed for restaurant work.
Controversial: TV chef Jamie Oliver Mr Johnson told Tory activists: "Now I can see looks of apoplexy here... and I can see looks of sad acknowledgement as well and I can see a vague depressed look of recognition.
"I know and you know that there are millions of British kids and young people who are as dynamic and go-getting as any millionaire masterchef.
"But my question to you is what if Jamie has a point? What if he has half a point or even a quarter of a point? Do you think he does?
"He is onto something, he may have phrased it in a provocative way but he was saying something that I think resonates, right?
"If he has a point, we need to think about the possible origins of that difference in motivation that he claims to detect. We need to consider what we politicians are doing about it, don't we?
