Should we be practicing wage restraint to protect the economy? Mortgages and rents are increasing, fuel prices and food bills are going up and the official figures tell us inflation is running at over three percent.

However, the Chancellor Alistair Darling says pay rises need to be "consistent" with the 2 per cent inflation target. Is he right? Plus: Would free food vouchers help you give up smoking? In Dundee they're launching a scheme where people in some of the city's poorest areas will be offered grocery vouchers as an incentive to stop smoking. Is this a good way to help people quit, or a nanny state solution to an issue which should be about personal preference and responsibility? Graham Stewart takes your calls, texts and emails.
