Hundreds of thousands of people face having their summer holidays ruined in the wake of the collapse of a major tour operator. What plans are in place to help them? New plans announced this week should make evicting so-called "neighbours from hell" quicker, but will they work? We hear from Housing Minister Grant Shapp. The Coalition government was the latest in a long line of governments promising a "bonfire of the quangoes" but predictions are that changes could result in more, not less. A quarter of adults in the UK now own smartphones, and nearly 75% of us have broadband at home. We get more for our money, but is the industry sustainable? Plus changes in how bacon is labelled will mean that most of the bacon we now buy would have to be labelled "with water". DEFRA has welcomed the changes as making it clearer for consumers, but the industry says that it will be more confusing.
