Inflation figures for August, the coalition's new Local Enterprise Partnerships, customers want better service from energy providers and we look at the size of the gaming industry.
Presented by Dominic Laurie and Mickey Clark.
The Consumer Prices Index inflation figures for August will be released later. We ask Philip Shaw, Chief Economist at Investec, whether the potentially high figures may mean inflated prices on the high street.
MPs are looking at how to run the coalition-backed local enterprise partnerships that will replace Labour's regional development agencies. Alexander Ehman, head of parliamentary affairs at the Institute of Directors, tells us how the two organisations differ.
According to U-Switch, customers are happier than ever with their energy provider, but feel customer service could be improved. Ann Robinson, Director of Consumer Policy at uSwitch, explains their findings.
And we look at the size and value of the UK and global gaming industry with technology reporter Daniel Emery, who last night attended the midnight launch of the Xbox game Halo.
