Supermarket 'offers', Petrol theft, Pricey 'green' policies

Consumer affairs with Winifred Robinson. Who picks up the bill for forecourt thefts? You and Yours discovers the petrol stations docking staff wages. Plus pricey 'green' policies.

A report from the think tank Policy Exchange says money added to our energy bills for 'green' policies has been wasted. It has calculated that the average household bill has increased by Β£120 in 6 years because of ill thought through climate change policies, and the cost of running energy networks. The former Energy Secretary Ed Davey responds.

Losses at petrol stations from people who fill up and drive off without paying have soared in recent years - according to the industry body that keeps track of it. Winifred Robinson speaks to a shop assistant who has been footing the bill when people drive off without paying for their petrol.

Plus the Competition and Markets Authority respond to a super complaint about supermarket offers.

Presented by Winifred Robinson
Produced by Natalie Donovan.
