Construction engineering professor Chris Goodier explains how widespread the problem could get. Plus: Ahead of the Autumn Statement, how should governments think about spending? Former Bank of England policymaker Michael Saunders tells us the UK has suffered "persistent low growth in living standards," and why he expects more of the same, unless governments change their approach. Hosted by Caroline Hepker and Lizzy Burden.
