Financial Advice Barriers and Wages
As the new government promises higher minimum wages and improved employment rights - what might that mean?
More than 9 out of 10 people did not pay for financial advice in the past two years and that number is growing. The figures come from surveys by the financial services consultancy The LangCat. It found the proportion of people paying for financial advice fell from 11% of adults to 9% between this year's report and one they did a year ago. We'll hear from them about the reasons behind it.
What will the new government do to change employment rights and wages? We鈥檒l discuss the potential new employment bill ahead of the King's Speech.
And the new security measures people can take to protect themselves from mobile phone fraud. This is when people's phones are stolen not for the value of the physical handsets but so criminals can try to access the financial apps stored on them to steal hundreds or, often, thousands of pounds from victims.
