Nihal asks if Asian men put pressure on their wives to not work after they have children. Plus, Nihal is joined in the studio by motoring guru Mike Rutherford.

At 10, do Asian men put pressure on their wives not to work after they have children? George Osborne is giving his budget this lunchtime and he's going to announce extra financial help for childcare for families where both parents work. The idea is that the extra money will help women get back into the office. But in Asian households is it really the cost of childcare that prevents women going back to work?

If you're an Asian husband, do you want you wife going back to work after they have kids? Would you rather they stayed at home and looked after the children than going out and leaving them at the nursery?

Are you a women that wanted to go back to work after having kids but has been prevented from doing so by your husband?

After 11, motoring expert Mike Rutherford is this week's guru, so get in touch with your car related questions for him.

Later in the show, Nihal will be speaking to student, artist and entrepreneur Akshay Sharma. He's the creator of the new Facebook craze 'Spit and Follow', where people are nominated to write a rap, poem, song or spoken words piece on a random subject.
