5LI: British-Pakistani Kidnap 04 DEC 2011




5 live Investigates show

Summary: British-Pakistanis are being abducted when they travel to Pakistan, with 22 recorded last year - and police say that's the 'tip of the iceberg'. They are seen as easy and lucrative targets with few perpetrators ever brought to justice. One man taken captive and whose family paid a ransom speaks out. Also, the small firms saying they are being prevented from securing contracts from Government and councils by inflexible and cumbersome rules. And as the Christmas party season starts, why have the Home Office still not supplied drug driving analysers to police despite telling us last year that the devices would be operational by this summer?
