Royal Bank of Scotland and Centrica publish their latest results.

Royal Bank of Scotland and Centrica publish their latest results and Lord Davies releases his report on why so few women are on the boards of UK companies.

Royal Bank of Scotland, the bank that's 84% owned by the taxpayer, is due to report its annual results. Alex Potter, an analyst at Berenberg bank, discusses what we can expect.

Just over 10% of FTSE 100 companies have women on the board. We ask Helena Morrissey, CEO of Newton Investment Management, why that is and what, if anything, should be done about it.

The company that owns British Gas, Centrica, is expected to report record profits of more than £2 billion. We hear from David Hunter, an energy analyst at M&C Energy Group, about why it has been doing so well and what has been happening to wholesale gas prices.
