BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Ikea Hide-and-Seek, Price Comparison Sites, Private Dentists

Ikea hide-and-seek is banned and price comparison sites must stop exclusive deals.

A giant game of Ikea hide-and-seek is banned and price comparison sites are told 'no more' to exclusive deals with motor insurers, plus the UK's most expensive filling.

Price Comparison sites have been told they must stop setting up deals with motor insurers that prevent them from selling the same deal elsewhere. The Competition and Markets Authority discusses the rules with Peter White.

A huge game of Ikea 'Hide and Seek' has been banned by the superstore. It has concerns about health and safety after 20,000 people joined a group hosting an event in one of the shop's Dutch branches. But why would anyone choose to get lost in an Ikea shop?

Plus haggling over the price of a filling. We hear why the cost of dental treatment varies wildly in different parts of the UK, and what we can do to get a good deal.

Presenter: Peter White
Producer: Natalie Donovan.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
