Economy Minister answers your questions about the £100 High Street Vouchers Scheme.

Your questions about the High Street Voucher Scheme answered by Economy Minister Gordon Lyons, Seamus McAleavy of NICVA on changes to gambling laws, and HMRC scam advice. 

Economy Minister Gordon Lyons answers your questions about the High Street voucher scheme and tells Linda how and when people can apply, and where he hopes to spend his £100.

Can you trust a letter that claims you are due a tax rebate? HMRC spokesperson Marguerite Kerr shares her tips and advice on staying safe and avoiding scams, whether you're young or old.
