News and views from the business world with Mickey Clark and Andy Verity. 

The Health Secretary, Andrew Lansley, will set out detailed plans for one of the coalition government's flagship policies - a ban on selling alcohol for below cost price. We ask James Lowman, chief executive of the Association of Convenience Stores what he expects the government to announce today.

Around half of disabled people are out of work, despite the fact that only a small percentage are actually prevented from working by their disability. We spoke to Guy Parker, acting policy director at Leonard Cheshire Disability, as the BBC looks this week at issues facing disabled people in a series called Access all Areas.

The Crown Currency Campaign Action Group representing customers who lost out when currency dealer Crown Currency Exchange went into administration is meeting with Administrators today. The programme hears from Joanne Struyk, co-chair of the Action Group. 

Finally, the Co-Op dividend is converting points into cash for its members based on its profits. Head of membership at the Co-Operative Russell Gill explains how this works.
