Consumer affairs with Shari Vahl. MP targets music ticket prices. EU clarifies health rules over treatment abroad.
Consumer affairs with Shari Vahl. Labour MP for Sunderland and Washington Sharon Hodgson is launching a bid to crackdown on profits made by re-selling concert or event tickets. Her private member's bill, she says, is the start of a campaign to limit the re-sale value of any ticket to ten per cent over the face value.
There are now reckoned to be two million potholes in the UK. The AA say after two winters which have created more holes in the road than ever cuts to local authority budgets means there is less money to fix them.
The long running fight for compensation on behalf of Equitable Life customers has taken a new turn with an improved offer of terms for customers of the company which almost went bust ten years ago. The 大象传媒's personal finance expert Paul Lewis says the money on offer is more than offered previously but it is unlikely to bring the wrangle to a close.
The EU has published a set of rules governing the access of cross border health care. Previously practice had been built on a number of court rulings arising from individual patient claims. It is hoped the new rules will standardise the rights and procedures relating to healthcare in another EU country.
