Tuition fees, Green Deal scams, Gap insurance

New report suggests the planned rise in tuition fees in England may not save the taxpayer any money. Plus a look at green deal scams and pressure to buy gap insurance for your car.

A new report from the Institute of Fiscal Studies suggests the government's plans to increase tuition fees for students in England may not save the taxpayer any money. We'll talk to the author of the report.

Citizens Advice warns that seventy percent of queries to them about Green Deal are about scams.

We look at the idea of gap insurance - and whether high pressure sales pitches when you are buying a car should be allowed, and as two of the biggest TV shopping channels close - is it the end for the road for buying what you see.
