Troubled advisory group scrapped four months early
The government is scrapping a troubled advisory group led by businessman Sunny Kaushal. The Ministerial Advisory Group for victims of retail crime has been dogged by controversy since it was established by Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith in October 2024. Most recently, three of its five members resigned within a month of each other, with one saying it had become a very unpleasant environment under Kaushal. Reporter Jimmy Ellingham spoke to Lisa Owen.
