Doorstep selling, Smart meters, Alcohol limits

Available for over a year

The first new alcohol guidelines in 20 years have been published. We ask what real people make of them, do they make people think twice about drinking and how we relate to official health guidance in general. An energy industry insider has written to the Environment Minister to say the £11 billion smart meter project is in "a mess". Smart meters are supposed to help us monitor our gas and electricity bills and so lower our bills. We ask Alex Henny who used to be a director of London Electricity and is a former government advisor why he thinks they're a waste of money and ask a representative of the smart meter manufacturing industry to respond. We investigate a furniture company that was found guilty of aggressive sales tactics in a case taken by trading standards in Suffolk but seems to have gone on to do the same thing in another part of the country. And the white goods delivery company that began with a one pound bet in the pub but went on to be valued at more than a billion on the stock market.
