Green deal mis-selling, Shoplifting, Breast implants

You and Yours

Available for over a year

We investigate how hundreds of home owners were mis-sold a government solar panel scheme through a company called Home Energy Lifestyle Management Services Ltd (HELMS). It's left people saddled with debts they'll be repaying for the next 20 years. Marks & Spencer has barred one of its customers for life after she was caught shoplifting. She insists it's a misunderstanding - but will M&S lift the ban? We speak to the parents of a woman who died from a rare form of cancer linked to breast implants. In France all medics have to warn women of the risk. Her parents are calling for the same to happen here. At Christmas 2015 we reported on the major floods that hit the Calder Valley in West Yorkshire, causing millions of pounds of damage. We revisit Hebden Bridge to speak to the residents and shop owners as they celebrate their Christmas Day in June because they missed out at the time. Some of the biggest house builders are meeting at a national conference in Manchester today - they tell us how they think Brexit may affect housebuilding.
