Election Quiz and Vincent Duggleby

BBC Radio 4 - Money Box, Election Quiz and Vincent Duggleby

As the general election draws near, we answer listener questions ahead of 4 July.

A tribute to former Money Box presenter Vincent Duggleby, who passed away earlier this month.

This time next week the General Election will be over.  As the days count down we'll get into the nitty gritty with listener questions on Inheritance Tax, Capital Gains Tax and ISAs.  

Some lawyers and listeners who are acting as powers of attorney have told Money Box they're having problems dealing with banks on behalf of their clients and relatives.   The Association of Lifetime Lawyers, a group of legal professionals who support vulnerable and older people, has also told this programme banks need a more streamlined and consistent approach to dealing with powers of attorney.  UK Finance which speaks for the banks acknowledged there is more to be done. It says banks are working with members and government bodies to look at how greater consistency can be achieved across the industry.

And a tribute to former Money Box presenter and founder Vincent Duggleby, who sadly passed away earlier this month.
