Julian Worricker on consumer news including the latest on the E. Coli outbreak in beansprouts in Germany. We discuss proposed benefits cuts for those living in social housing deemed too big for their needs. We explore claims that the plans will drive low income tenants towards debt and loan sharks as they try to stay in their homes. We consider a relatively unknown treatment approved for addressing Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. It's called EMDR which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and the Ministry of Defence is just one of the bodies beginning to use it. And Royal Mail privatisation - can we expect further delays as the legislation comes before Parliament?
