The popular magazine of news, views and practical advice for consumers of welfare and public services returns with a new series of nine programmes presented by Hugh Scully and Helen Madden.
This week, a report from Brussels. Claimants in the EEC outnumber wage earners by 20 million, yet in the run-up to 1992 no heed has been taken of them. The unrecognised European Claimants' Association wants standardised benefits and claiming procedures throughout the EEC. What rights do British claimants have in Europe now? Food poisoning has reached epidemic proportions. Anyone can get it. So what are your rights if you've been poisoned? How can you avoid poisoning yourself at home? What powers do the authorities have? Advice Shop raids pubs, restaurants and canteens with an intrepid team of environmental health inspectors.
