Private investigators, online piracy and North South divide.

Consumer news with Julian Worricker. Including regulation of private investigators, the policing of online piracy, and the widening north-south divide.

Radio 4's Consumer Affairs Programme with Julian Worricker.

A Government committee examines why statutory regulation of private investigators still hasn't happened ten years after it was first called for.

Some parts of the music industry in the UK say its urgent that we enforce legislation to police online piracy. Other countries are bringing in strict new laws: we'll be finding out why we're lagging behind.

The Coalition Government pledged to narrow the North South divide but instead the gap is widening. Will this get worse as the recession bites deep into 2012?
