Animal products in new fiver 'unacceptable'

PM

Available for over a year

Trupti Patel, president of umbrella body the Hindu Forum of Britain, says the revelation that the new five pound note may contain animal products is "totally and utterly unacceptable". She tells 麻豆社 Radio 4's PM programme that rather than use tallow - produced from the cattle rendering process - the Bank of England could have found an artificial material. "Even diamonds are created artificially," she said. (Photo: Five pound note. Credit: WPA Pool/Getty Images)
