Julian Worricker talks to the Chief Executive of the Food Standards Agency about some of the most serious food scares that have dented consumer trust: salmonella; contaminated produce and food fraud. And we report on the future of housing for councils and housing associations. We investigate the lie detector machines used by local authorities to eliminate benefit fraud: are they value for money? And ivy. We invite you to take a peek into Julian's back garden to find out whether ivy climbing along walls is really as bad as we think.
