PCR Prices; Ghost Brokers; British Cheese

The Government is clamping down on rogue companies offering cheap PCR tests for UK travellers going abroad. We've got advice and ask what's gone wrong with the testing industry?

The Government promised to crack down on private suppliers misleading consumers by offering cheap PCR tests for as little as a pound on its website. Travellers seeking to go abroad have to use the list to book a PCR test because of the new Omicron variant of Coronavirus. Many have complained that those offers are rarely available and only apply in very specific circumstances (click and collect at one location on certain dates and at certain times etc). We speak to the CEO of one of the big diagnostic testing firms who has set up a kitemark to help consumers naviagate an industry which he admits has, at times, deserved its poor reputation.

Also - the fake car insurance policies found on social media that sound too good to be true and really are.

And we speak to one of the big UK cheese manufacturers on why this country's classic cheeses are finding a market in the East.
