Fake Companies, Pirate Books and Asda

You and Yours

Available for over a year

The nightmare of fake companies being registered at innocent people's addresses is something we've reported on extensively at You and Yours. Now, Companies House is asking for ID from anyone who wants to set up a company. Will it crack the problem - or are criminals just going to get round the new system? We ask the people leading the change. Also - a father tells us he's desperate to get a wheelchair for his disabled daughter - but nothing's happening very fast. Some people are trying to avoid buying US products in protest at Donald Trump - they're not easy to avoid though - and we ask what the future holds for one of the big three supermarkets, Asda, as Aldi closes in on its market share. PRESENTER: WINIFRED ROBINSON PRODUCER: TOM MOSELEY
