Money
The less of it we have, the more concerned we must be about it, so call in and ask the advice of Louise Botting and Mavis Moullin on the right kind of saving and investment for you. Are you sure that your money is earning as much as it could for you? Perhaps you are paying more tax than is necessary. Maybe you want to give money to a grandchild - or perhaps you are saving for a home. If you have retired, what's the best place to preserve your nest-egg from the effects of inflation? Sue MacGregor is in the Chair. Produced by the Woman's Hour unit Lines open from 8.0 am long wave only

On 3 February 1971, the Cabinet met in special session. Edward Heath left his Ministers to confer with President Nixon on a 'hotline' to Washington. That call confirmed the decision that one of Britain's proudest and most successful companies would go bankrupt - 'the greatest financial disaster in Britain's history', according to the company's receiver. But where did the company go wrong? Who was to blame? Should Mr Heath's new government have revised its policy towards 'lame ducks' and prevented the bankruptcy?
