Winifred Robinson speaks to the UK's Ambassador to Spain, how the Mercury Prize affects sales, and is choice is a good thing for consumers?

Winifred Robinson asks why Easyjet's punctuality was so poor last month. Plus the UK's Ambassador to Spain on the issues facing Brits both on holiday and living in the country. Also, how does the Mercury Prize affect the artists that win and those who are nominated? And, as David Cameron says he wants more choice in public services, the programme explores whether choice is a good thing for consumers.
