Published Date:

The chief executive of Asda talks exclusively on why retailing must change. And what solicitors really think of the government's Home Information Packs. Listen to informed debate in our weekly business programme.
In this edition of BusinessTalk, Asda's Andy Bond says retailers - including himself - must take a good, long look in the mirror.

Plus, the president of the Law Society lambasts the government's record on legal aid and HIPs, and we discuss the likelihood of tax cuts to pump money back into the economy.

There are also two business profiles on more high-profile Yorkshire entrepreneurs.

That's all in BusinessTalk from the Yorkshire Post.
