Paul Lewis and guests examine the new government's plans for tax, pensions and benefits. Plus, how to get the best deal when using the internet or your mobile phone abroad.

In this week's programme, Paul Lewis and guests examine the personal finance aspects of the coalition government's agreement, and the National Landlords' Association voices its opposition to proposed changes to capital gains tax.

What is a fair charge for using the internet or your mobile phone abroad? A listener tells Money Box he was shocked to find he had been billed more than Â£7,000 by his internet provider when he was stuck in Italy for five days because of the travel disruption caused by the volcanic ash cloud.

And Paul Lewis finds out why interest rates on overdrafts are at a 10-year high, according to Moneyfacts research.

Producer: Ruth Alexander.
