Teetotal teenagers and British Gas profits

Duration:
3 hours
First broadcast:
Thursday 28 July 2011

Mark Matthews hears why the number of young teenagers who are teetotal is on the rise. A growing number of 11 to 16-year-olds in England are choosing to drink less or not to touch alcohol at all according to new statistics from the NHS.

The parent company of British Gas, Centrica, has reported a profit of £1.3bn for the first six months of this year. The company announced big price rises for gas and electricity two weeks ago.

Free stubby pouches are being handed out in east Suffolk. It is in a bid to stop the number of cigarette butts being thrown on the ground. Suffolk Coastal District Council is warning it will fine those caught littering on the streets.
