Funeral Plan Compensation and Leasehold Reform

There will be no compensation for more than 46,000 people who lost thousands of pounds each when the funeral plan firm Safe Hands went bust 3 years ago. The regulator - the Financial Conduct Authority - was told this week it should consider compensating them after a report by Rachel Kent, the Complaints Commissioner, set out the FCA's failings over Safe Hands. In response, the FCA has said it does not accept it was at fault, that it did not regulate the funeral planning firm at the time, and no compensation would be paid. This month the Government has announced plans to scrap new leasehold flats, replacing it with a system called commonhold already used in Scotland where homeowners collectively own the building and the land. But how will the planned improvements to the rights of existing leaseholders work? There's changes to how 'side-hustlers' report their earnings to HMRC, but it's not a tax cut, how will that work?And there's extra money to help pensioners in Northern Ireland with their heating bills.Presenter: Paul Lewis Reporters: Dan Whitworth and Eimear Devlin Researcher: Jo Krasner Editor: Sarah Rogers.(This programme was first broadcast at 12pm Saturday the 15th of March 2025)

Female Genital Mutilation or FGM is a practice that divides people. In the countries where it's common – it's usually carried out for cultural or religious reasons - but in recent years many African countries have banned the practice saying it's a violation of the rights of women and girls. It can cause serious health problems – including infection and complications in childbirth – and girls have died when the procedure has gone wrong. But now in The Gambia – a bill has been introduced that would reverse a ban brought in under former President Yahya Jammeh in 2015. This week, the bill passed its latest parliamentary stage and will now go to a committee of MPs for further consideration.For Africa Daily, Alan Kasujja speaks to Jaha Marie Dukureh, the founder for Safe Hands for Girls - an organization focused on ending FGM in The Gambia, and UN women regional goodwill ambassador for Africa.

Gambia's parliament failed Monday, at least for now, to abolish the ban on female genital mutilation (FGM). The Associated Press says instead, they referred the bill to a committee for further discussion and another vote later. The World Health Organization says FGM is harmful and has no health benefits. Gambia imposed hefty fines and jail sentences in 2015 for those who perform FGM. Jaha Dukureh, founder of Safe Hands for Girls, a local group that is advocating for ending the practice, tells VOA's James Butty, the move to repeal the ban is all about controlling women's bodies by people who do not care about the health and well-being of women
