'Mrs J' has debts of £9,000. She has unopened bills behind the clock in her flat. She's in tears. Tomorrow 'John's' gas, which he needs for cooking and heating, will be disconnected. He chain smokes in the waiting-room.
They have both come to their local Citizens Advice Bureau expecting immediate free advice. Six million enquiries were handled by the 910 bureaux in England and Wales last year. But the CAB Service, staffed almost entirely by volunteers, is itself desperately short of money. In many areas bureaux are operating on a hand-to-mouth existence - some don't know if they'll survive beyond this year. Yet the demand for their services increases daily.
John Howard assesses the value of Britain's only national, free advice service.
