Mortgage Prisoners, Scottish Retail and Supermarket Mergers

Available for over a year

The rules around mortgage deals were tightened up 4 years ago - but are they too tight? We speak to one person who was involved in shaping them - who was then refused a new mortgage deal even though she could make the repayments How healthy is the Scottish shopping sector? We send a reporter to find out. As we wait to see if the Competitions and Marketing Authority allows the Sainsbury and Asda merger - what can we learn from the previous deal in the sector - where Morrisons and Safeway became one? We meet the man helping councils buy local land to kick-start the local economy And the critics called it the bedroom tax - but did it fulfil its role of freeing up social housing?
