The stories we looked at this week:

Missing Millions

Where has the £34 million earmarked for Scottish families with disabled children been spent? In England and Wales this money is ring-fenced, but in Scotland it's given to all the different local councils who can spend it as they like. Listener Zoe Picton-Howell shared her concern over the money, which we followed up with the SNP's and the Labour MP , a long term campaigner on disabled rights.

Dr Blog

Chris Vallance looked at , the controversial internet advertising platform, and spoke to computer security expert and to Kent Ertugrul, Phorm's CEO.

Credit Crunch

We spoke to Pauline Brocklehurst and Martin Campbell, lender and borrower on 'peer-to-peer finance' website .

Favourites

String theorist shared his favourite websites.
