Voluntary group to tackle Hajj fraud

Pilgrims who visit Mecca for the Hajj now have a new authority whose job it will be to check that make sure trips organised from the UK meet travel standards.

Around 20,000 British Muslims go on the pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia every year.

The new Licensed Hajj Organisers is a voluntary group that aims to set minimum standards and publish a list of approved travel agents.
