The FRSB, Bottle shops, The value of golf

BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, The FRSB, Bottle shops, The value of golf

The Fundraising Standards Board finds two charities have breached its code of practice.

The Fundraising Standards Board finds the RSPCA and Battersea Dogs and Cats Home have breached the Fundraising Code of Practice. Also the rise of the bottle shop.

The RSPCA and Battersea Dogs Home both used the services of a company of fundraisers called Fundraising Initiatives Limited. The regulator the FRSB has found that both charities were breaching the code of rules which govern the industry - because they failed to monitor the company. Fundraising Initiatives later collapsed owing charities thousands of pounds. We'll reveal how the problem came to light.

And they've been described as crosses between off-licences and pubs - they're bottle shops and they're cropping up everywhere. Geoff Bird pays a visit to a new addition to the high street which is just right for the craft ale fan.

And Campylobacter is one of the biggest causes of food poisoning in the UK, making an estimated 280,000 people in the UK feel very grim each year. The Food Standards Agency has announced it's pausing its testing regime because of changes being made further up the production line.

And you'll have heard about Westminster bodies like the Public Accounts Committee and the Health Select Committee - but what about the All Party Parliamentary group on Golf? As a new report outlines the value of golf to the UK economy, we'll talk to its Chair, the Conservative MP Karl McCartney.

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