Diesel Prices Hit Record High

You and Yours

Available for over a year

Diesel prices have hit an all-time high as the war in the Middle East continues to push up the cost of fuel. Petrol prices are rising too. We'll speak to some businesses bearing the brunt of the price hikes and find out if it's pushing up prices for their customers. How will the government's proposed new scheme for first-time buyers compare with Help to Buy? Virgin Media customers are being told they need to pay to keep their email addresses - is that the future? And returns fraud - where people demand refunds for items they claim have been lost or damaged - is big business for criminals. We'll find out how they do it and hear from a small retailer on the front line. PRESENTER: WINIFRED ROBINSON PRODUCER: TOM MOSELEY
