Cladding, Pensions, Manbags

Cladding..., plus how to avoid bad pension or investment advice, and why one in seven British men bought a man bag last year.

Residents of New Capital Quay in Greenwich are asking who will spend millions of pounds replacing flammable cladding on their buildings.

How much can you find out about a financial advisor? MPs have criticised the Financial Conduct Authority's online register for being too confusing.

PRESENTER: Melanie Abbott
PRODUCERS: JOEL MOORS AND CHAS WATKIN.
