0:00:16 > 0:00:18Hello, and welcome to The Week In Parliament.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22Coming up in the next half hour: The Bill putting EU law on the UK
0:00:22 > 0:00:25statue book clears its first hurdle in the Lords.
0:00:25 > 0:00:32But there's a hint of the battles to come.
0:00:32 > 0:00:37At this pivotal moment in our history.We cannot, we must not
0:00:37 > 0:00:41indulge in that very British habit of just muddling through.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44MPs vote to move out of Parliament for a mutli billion
0:00:44 > 0:00:45pound repair programme, after warnings there's
0:00:45 > 0:00:48a risk of it burning down!
0:00:48 > 0:00:55We must recognise that as time passes without competence of action,
0:00:55 > 0:00:57those risks only increase.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Also on this programme: It's stand-in day at
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Prime Minister's Questions, where Emily Thornberry attacks
0:01:01 > 0:01:07the Government and the DUP for not backing votes at 16.
0:01:07 > 0:01:12They are not the coalition of chaos, Mr Speaker, there are the coalition
0:01:12 > 0:01:13of cavemen!
0:01:13 > 0:01:16But David Lidington says that Labour put up the age for doing
0:01:16 > 0:01:17all sorts of things.
0:01:17 > 0:01:24Raise the age to 18, and raise the age for using a sunbed to 18.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27But first: After two days of debate and 190 speakers,
0:01:27 > 0:01:29the EU Withdrawal Bill cleared its first Parliamentary
0:01:29 > 0:01:32hurdle in the House of Lords.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36The Bill transfers EU law into UK domestic law to avoid a legal black
0:01:36 > 0:01:39hole opening up after brexit.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42It's already been through the Commons, so now it was down
0:01:42 > 0:01:45to Peers to have their say, and the Government could have
0:01:45 > 0:01:48been left in no doubt it was going to have a fight
0:01:48 > 0:01:49on its hands.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54A Labour former Transport Secretary Lord Adonis,
0:01:54 > 0:01:57proposed a rare vote to regret the Bill, in effect calling
0:01:57 > 0:02:01for a second referendum.
0:02:01 > 0:02:07The interest of the public as a whole do not lie in making written
0:02:07 > 0:02:12partner. They do not lie in undermining the Good Friday
0:02:12 > 0:02:15agreements. They do not lie in diminishing trade and our people's
0:02:15 > 0:02:18right to live and work across Europe.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23There was strong criticism too from a former brexit minister.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27All we hear day after day are conflicting, confusing voices. If
0:02:27 > 0:02:34this continues and Ministers cannot agree amongst themselves on the
0:02:34 > 0:02:37future relationship the Government wants, how can this Prime Minister
0:02:37 > 0:02:45possibly negotiate a clear, precise set of terms with the future
0:02:45 > 0:02:50relationship of the EU? My fear is that we will get meaningless waffle
0:02:50 > 0:02:54in a political decoration in October. The implementation period
0:02:54 > 0:03:00will not be a bridge to a clear destination, but a gang plank into
0:03:00 > 0:03:06thin air. At this pivotal moment in our history, we cannot, we must not
0:03:06 > 0:03:09indulge in that very British habit of just muddling through.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11A former Ukip leader said he supported the Bill,
0:03:11 > 0:03:14but thought the Government needed to change tack on the
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Brexit negotiations.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21They should sit the Eurocrats down and tell them we have done our best
0:03:21 > 0:03:27to make clauses to defy the Article 50 work. They have abused our trust,
0:03:27 > 0:03:33and we see no future in going on like this. So we are unilaterally
0:03:33 > 0:03:38taking back our law, our borders, fisheries, agriculture is and so on,
0:03:38 > 0:03:43but we will also be generous. We will give them wide mutual
0:03:43 > 0:03:46residence. We will allow them to continue in free trade with us. We
0:03:46 > 0:03:50will go on helping them with security, and then we will decide,
0:03:50 > 0:03:56but might not -- my lord, how much cash will give them, which may be
0:03:56 > 0:03:59nothing after March 29 next year if they do not behave themselves and
0:03:59 > 0:04:06fall into the above.It remains government policy to Brexit, we will
0:04:06 > 0:04:12strengthen our democracy, protecting all those in its process. In its
0:04:12 > 0:04:15current process -- form, this build will fail on all those aims, and
0:04:15 > 0:04:19sadly the gaps in the Bill will leave the environment is the biggest
0:04:19 > 0:04:23casualty.As things stand, both government and opposition parties
0:04:23 > 0:04:30are finding it hard to agree on a Way forward. So a referendum on a
0:04:30 > 0:04:36new question about the future relationship may become unavoidable.
0:04:36 > 0:04:43Although this is not something we should be voting at this stage.I
0:04:43 > 0:04:47know it my duty is, and it is to bring to the attention of the other
0:04:47 > 0:04:53house the manifest defects which exist in this legislation. We may
0:04:53 > 0:04:57not make them any wiser, my lords, but if we do it properly with this
0:04:57 > 0:05:03bill, we will make them better informed. Heavens knows they need
0:05:03 > 0:05:09it.The door to the studio of your lordships House is very clear. That
0:05:09 > 0:05:15duty, I submit, is to assert our rights to scrutinise, to amend, and
0:05:15 > 0:05:21if needs be, to reject unacceptable parts of this bill, and to use the
0:05:21 > 0:05:28entire arsenal of our powers and prerogatives to limit the damage
0:05:28 > 0:05:35that threatens the sovereignty of Parliament and the national
0:05:35 > 0:05:38interest.I cannot believe it is in the national interest to get onto
0:05:38 > 0:05:42such a referendum merry-go-round. Whatever point of view we fought for
0:05:42 > 0:05:48in the referendum campaign, we could have made a success of the United
0:05:48 > 0:05:52Kingdom in the European Union. And we can make a success with sunk
0:05:52 > 0:05:58costs and a people of being outside the European Union, but we cannot
0:05:58 > 0:06:00possibly make a success at being in a national state of bewilderment
0:06:00 > 0:06:04about when we're going to have another referendum, and which
0:06:04 > 0:06:08direction we're going in.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Well at the end of that, Lord Adonis didn't press his motion to the vote,
0:06:11 > 0:06:14and the Bill passed its second reading, it will begin
0:06:14 > 0:06:18detailed scrutiny in the Lords later this month.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21MPs have backed a call for Parliament to move out
0:06:21 > 0:06:23of the Palace of Westminster, while billions of pounds
0:06:23 > 0:06:24of repairs are carried out.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26The building is part of a World Heritage site,
0:06:26 > 0:06:28but there are problems with asbestos, wiring,
0:06:28 > 0:06:29pipes, and plumbing.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32The thorny problem of how to carry out the repairs has been
0:06:32 > 0:06:35looked out over the years, with three options being put
0:06:35 > 0:06:39forward, moving out altogether, moving one chamber out at a time
0:06:39 > 0:06:43and staying put for the work to be carried out around Mps and peers.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46The three options carry correspondingly
0:06:46 > 0:06:48increasing price tags!
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Opening a debate the Leader of the Commons presented Mps
0:06:51 > 0:06:55with two two motions, one of which suggested a further
0:06:55 > 0:06:59review delaying any decision for a further four years,
0:06:59 > 0:07:03and a second suggesting the setting up of a delivery authority as soon
0:07:03 > 0:07:09as possible to look at the options again and fully cost them.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Andrea Leadsom said she'd approach the question of restoration
0:07:11 > 0:07:17with a healthy degree of scepticism.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21I, like many, felt that the case for a major restoration programme had
0:07:21 > 0:07:24probably been overstated, and that the powers look fine to me, and we
0:07:24 > 0:07:29would be able to continue to patch and mend as we went a long, as we
0:07:29 > 0:07:34have done for many, many decades. However, Mr Speaker, during my seven
0:07:34 > 0:07:39months in the job, I have, as they say, gone on a journey. I have lived
0:07:39 > 0:07:44and breathed this topic. I have visited the basement and seen for
0:07:44 > 0:07:50myself what our engineers are up against. We must recognise that as
0:07:50 > 0:07:55time passes without comprehensive action, those risks only increase.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Lu this work is necessary for safety, that has been agreed by
0:07:58 > 0:08:04everyone.We cannot delay, any delay increases the costs.
0:08:04 > 0:08:09A Lib Dem dismissed the idea of moving one chamber out at a time.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Because the services do provide for the whole of the House, and
0:08:12 > 0:08:17therefore you cannot decant half the building.When I look at his
0:08:17 > 0:08:22building and the stunning architecture, I see it as some sort
0:08:22 > 0:08:30of sad metaphor for Brexit Britain, dilapidated, falling to bits around
0:08:30 > 0:08:34our ears, generally unloved, and in need of a lot of attention and
0:08:34 > 0:08:41support. Doesn't that just sum up where this nation is? Mr Speaker...
0:08:41 > 0:08:49My honourable cousin from Scotland, it would take a crowbar and a root
0:08:49 > 0:08:52of our through to wrestle this place. He wasn't here!
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Recovering from that, Pete Wishart said he favoured turning the palace
0:08:55 > 0:08:56into a tourist attraction.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59A group of mps had put down an amendment to the motion,
0:08:59 > 0:09:01propososing that all Mps and Peers moving out altogether
0:09:01 > 0:09:04while the work was carried out, and calling for the proposed
0:09:04 > 0:09:06delivery agency to oversee the project to be set up
0:09:06 > 0:09:07as soon as possible.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11One of the Mps behind that amendment said trying to move out one chamber
0:09:11 > 0:09:17at a time would double the cost and risk of fire.
0:09:17 > 0:09:23The thought of cutting a sewer system in half, or the electrics or
0:09:23 > 0:09:28any other works does not make sense. Because of the nature of the
0:09:28 > 0:09:30building.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Well there then followed a series of votes.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Unusually this was what's known as a free vote,
0:09:34 > 0:09:36meaning that Mps didn't have to follow a party line
0:09:36 > 0:09:38but could vote however they wanted.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Mps backed the amendment calling for both houses to move out
0:09:40 > 0:09:46of the Palace while work was carried out by 236 votes to 220.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49There's no date set for when that will happen, but during the debate,
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Andrea Leadsom said MPs and peers would not leave the Houses
0:09:52 > 0:09:56of Parliament until 2025 at the earliest.
0:09:56 > 0:10:04Peers will have their say in the next few days.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06It was all change at Prime Ministers questions.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Theresa May in China pix The Prime Minister,
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Theresa May was on a trip to China, attempting to boost
0:10:10 > 0:10:13trade and relations.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16As well as formal talks, there was time for Mrs May
0:10:16 > 0:10:18and her husband to pay a visit to a Peking Opera performance,
0:10:19 > 0:10:20for a little music and drama.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Well, back in Westminster the lead role at prime minster's
0:10:23 > 0:10:25questions had been delegated to the Cabinet Office Minister,
0:10:25 > 0:10:27David Lidington, who faced the Shadow Foreign Secretary,
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Emily Thornberry.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33The exchanges began with a little bit of banter about the last time
0:10:33 > 0:10:40the two had faced each other across the despatch box.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Let me start by welcoming the Minister back to his role,
0:10:43 > 0:10:48deputizing for the Prime Minister. Last time he did so was in December,
0:10:48 > 0:10:532016, when his party with 17 points ahead in the polls, and he told the
0:10:53 > 0:10:59House that the Labour Party was correlated like the film mutiny on
0:10:59 > 0:11:03the bounty, reshot by the team who made carry-on. Well, what a
0:11:03 > 0:11:10difference a year makes!It's a delight to me to see the right
0:11:10 > 0:11:17honourable Lady still in her place, when no fewer than 97 members of her
0:11:17 > 0:11:20front bench have either been sacked or resigned since the opposition
0:11:20 > 0:11:22took office.
0:11:22 > 0:11:27Emily Thornberry asked about the number of women
0:11:27 > 0:11:31in Parliament.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34I am pleased my party has made considerable progress, but I accept
0:11:34 > 0:11:37that there is more to be done. I hope that she will accept that we
0:11:37 > 0:11:42have now had two women leaders and prime Ministers, so they have a bit
0:11:42 > 0:11:49of catching up to do.I have to say, Mr Speaker, that if the party
0:11:49 > 0:11:54opposite of so route of having a female leader, why are so many of
0:11:54 > 0:11:59them trying to get rid of her? And why has she had to run away to China
0:11:59 > 0:12:04to get away from them?She then turned to the hundredth anniversary
0:12:04 > 0:12:12of women winning the right to vote. 90 years ago, he was extended to all
0:12:12 > 0:12:16women over 21, and almost 15 years ago, it was extended to all men and
0:12:16 > 0:12:21women over the age of 18. So can I ask the Minister a simple question.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24How many more years do we have to wait until the vote is extended to
0:12:24 > 0:12:31everyone over 16?I have to say, I am slightly baffled by the
0:12:31 > 0:12:36honourable Lady's comments, when compared to what her party did in
0:12:36 > 0:12:40office. Because it was the last labour government that raised the
0:12:40 > 0:12:45legal age for buying cigarettes to 18, raised the age for selling
0:12:45 > 0:12:51knives to 18, raised the age divide... And raise the age for
0:12:51 > 0:12:59using a sunbed for 18!There is no logical objection to the vote, that
0:12:59 > 0:13:01is why the Welsh Government supported, that is why every single
0:13:01 > 0:13:05political party in this House supports it, except of course the
0:13:05 > 0:13:11Conservative Party and the DUP. Once again, joined in opposition to
0:13:11 > 0:13:17change, they are not the coalition of chaos, Mr Speaker, there are the
0:13:17 > 0:13:20coalition of cavemen!The situation we have here, Mr Speaker, with the
0:13:20 > 0:13:26national voting age at 18, is one that is followed by 26 out of the 27
0:13:26 > 0:13:32other members of the European Union. By the United States, Canada, New
0:13:32 > 0:13:40Zealand, and Australia. Unless she is going to denounce all of those
0:13:40 > 0:13:45countries as somehow inadequate to her own particular standards, then
0:13:45 > 0:13:49quite honestly, Mr Speaker, she ought to grow up and try to treat
0:13:49 > 0:14:16this subject with a great deal of seriousness.Let me read you this
0:14:16 > 0:14:23from one of the residents affected. This is an eyewitness statement.
0:14:23 > 0:14:29Stranger standing and other ends of the Street firing fireworks as if
0:14:29 > 0:14:34they were guns. Pointing at each other. I saw one young child being
0:14:34 > 0:14:40hit in the head by fireworks, fortunately it did not explode it
0:14:40 > 0:14:46had it exploded it would've resulted in some serious burns.In the debate
0:14:46 > 0:14:51in the comments, MP 's call for an end to car park charges and
0:14:51 > 0:14:55hospitals in England. It's estimated that its cost visitors hundreds of
0:14:55 > 0:15:01thousands of pounds each are.No one goes to the hospital by choice, no
0:15:01 > 0:15:06one chooses to be ill, we rely on doctors and nurses to look after us
0:15:06 > 0:15:10and we urge the Minister who is here today to take urgent action to end
0:15:10 > 0:15:14this social injustice once and for all.The Government has rejected
0:15:14 > 0:15:31claims that there are calls to fluoride to be added to water
0:15:31 > 0:15:33The Government has rejected claims that dental care
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Mps held a debate on the next phase of high speed rail,
0:15:36 > 0:15:38extending the route from the West Midlands to Crewe.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40But a Conservative rejected the idea that the line would provide
0:15:40 > 0:15:44an alternative to flying to Europe.
0:15:44 > 0:15:50and patients pay more and more.I'm afraid I do not recognise the
0:15:50 > 0:16:00picture didn't honourable lady has painted. That figure is increasing
0:16:00 > 0:16:04over the last ten years. I should also point out that there are more
0:16:04 > 0:16:15dentists practising in the NHS than ever.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Michael Fabricant said his constituents would still have
0:16:25 > 0:16:27to trek across birmingham to change trains.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29A local councillor had timed how long it would take.
0:16:29 > 0:16:38in England is in crisis.
0:16:38 > 0:16:47It it took him...
0:16:47 > 0:16:49A Government Minister dramatically resigned in the House
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Lord Bates apologised to for what he described
0:16:51 > 0:16:53of Lords after arriving late for question time.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58as his 'discourtesy'.
0:16:58 > 0:17:04We should always rise to the highest standards of courtesy and respect. I
0:17:04 > 0:17:08am thoroughly ashamed that not being in my place and therefore I shall be
0:17:08 > 0:17:14offering my resignation to the Prime Minister. With immediate effect.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Lord Bates immediately walked out of the chamber.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Downing Street later said the Prime Minster had refused
0:17:20 > 0:17:22to accept his resignation.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Well, while we're on the subject of apologies, a Brexit Minister
0:17:25 > 0:17:27apologised to the Mps following comments he made
0:17:27 > 0:17:31at question time on Thursday.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33A Conservative Mp suggested to Steve Baker that Treasury
0:17:33 > 0:17:36officials were trying to influence policy with negative
0:17:36 > 0:17:44economic projections.
0:17:44 > 0:17:50Will my right honourable friend confirmed that he heard said from
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Central European research that officials in treasury deliberately
0:17:52 > 0:18:03developed a model to share that all options and status remaining in view
0:18:03 > 0:18:10commissions were banned...I am sorry to say to my honourable
0:18:10 > 0:18:19colleague is essentially correct. Civil service are extraordinarily
0:18:19 > 0:18:21careful to uphold the impartiality of the civil service.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22Well, overnight audio of what Charles Grant,
0:18:22 > 0:18:25the director of the Centre
0:18:25 > 0:18:26for European Research had said was released,
0:18:26 > 0:18:29and first thing Friday, Steve Baker came to the Commons
0:18:29 > 0:18:36to accept he'd got it wrong.
0:18:36 > 0:18:47Yesterday I answered the question to the best of my recollection. I'm the
0:18:47 > 0:18:51audio of that conversation is now available and I am glad the record
0:18:51 > 0:18:55stands corrected. In the context of that audio, I accept that I
0:18:55 > 0:19:00should've corrected or dismissed the premise of by honourable friend's
0:19:00 > 0:19:04question. I have apologised to Mr Charles Grant who is an honest and
0:19:04 > 0:19:06trustworthy man.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09CLIP HOC FRIDAY And he repeated he had the highest regard for hard
0:19:09 > 0:19:10working civil servants.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Now let's go back to Prime Minister's Questions,
0:19:13 > 0:19:20where the SNP's Westminster leader turned his attention to Brexit.
0:19:20 > 0:19:26This is a government in crisis, I'd international embarrassment.
0:19:26 > 0:19:32Chancellor the Scottish circuit Drake, Scottish Conservatives, are
0:19:32 > 0:19:36all supporters of the SIngle Market. Despite this, the Government is
0:19:36 > 0:19:45still prepared to make everyone... Where is the leadership?The most
0:19:45 > 0:19:49important SIngle Market to the people of Scotland is the SIngle
0:19:49 > 0:20:00Market of the United Kingdom. It is worth nearly £50 million to the
0:20:00 > 0:20:05Scottish economy, four times more than trade with the EU. It is our
0:20:05 > 0:20:12deep and special partnership with the EU, that will help deliver
0:20:12 > 0:20:16prosperity to Scotland, now the separatist agenda pursued by
0:20:16 > 0:20:17Scottish...
0:20:17 > 0:20:20The BBC's Carrie Gracie has told MPs she is 'very angry' at the way
0:20:20 > 0:20:23that the response to her grievance was insulting, but women further
0:20:23 > 0:20:25the Corporation has treated some female members of staff.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Carrie Gracie resigned as China Editor,
0:20:27 > 0:20:30citing pay inequalities with male colleagues.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32The BBC said there was 'no systemic discrimination against women'.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35She told the Culture and Media Committee
0:20:35 > 0:20:39admitted she was the victim of pay discrimination.
0:20:39 > 0:20:45down the organisation were suffering more.
0:20:45 > 0:20:51If the BBC cannot sort it out for me, a single person to 55 and a
0:20:51 > 0:20:56powerful position, how can it sorted out for more vulnerable people
0:20:56 > 0:21:05without a public profile, that is my concern. Being in conflict, the
0:21:05 > 0:21:10delays, the opacity and the belittling of the work, that is what
0:21:10 > 0:21:15has to happen if you are not willing to concede, the are going to have to
0:21:15 > 0:21:24crush your self-esteem about your work. That is very painful. I found
0:21:24 > 0:21:39all of that really hard and I really did, getting upset now, I felt very
0:21:39 > 0:21:47angry, I really feel about some of the things I've seen and heard, and
0:21:47 > 0:21:51some of the women's's suffering that has come through.
0:21:51 > 0:21:59As regards her own case, Carrie Gracie said the BBC had not
0:21:59 > 0:22:05To me it sounds like a tacit admission that it is pay
0:22:05 > 0:22:11discrimination, and want to pay £100,000 in back pay. But what is
0:22:11 > 0:22:20unacceptable to me, I just don't know why they do this. They
0:22:20 > 0:22:25basically said, if these three previous years that I was in
0:22:25 > 0:22:36development. It is an insult to add to the original injury. It is
0:22:36 > 0:22:38unacceptable to talk to your senior women like that.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41And the next witness was the Director General, Tony Hall.
0:22:41 > 0:22:49Finally, Mps were all of a on Wednesday
0:22:49 > 0:22:56The ad services that's wrong. What we are doing going forward, we want
0:22:56 > 0:23:01to make sure that we keep these things regularly under review, so we
0:23:01 > 0:23:13don't get to the point between the gap top paid editor and is
0:23:13 > 0:23:22unjustifiable.Do you agree with me that the BBC has paid less to women
0:23:22 > 0:23:31who work on equal... ?The answer is that might be individual cases,
0:23:31 > 0:23:40where if that is the case we will solve them. I don't believe that the
0:23:40 > 0:23:50BBC is an organisation, that we will pay a woman less to do that job.To
0:23:50 > 0:23:59go back to the case of Carrie, she was being paid less, I have said
0:23:59 > 0:24:07already that the grievance and the mistakes procedure, I accept were
0:24:07 > 0:24:18wrong and I am sorry about that. That was a big failure of
0:24:18 > 0:24:24management, there was no system in place.There is no failure of
0:24:24 > 0:24:27management, management is always about learning and listening, things
0:24:27 > 0:24:36are never right, you have to report -- reform terms and could dishes two
0:24:36 > 0:24:41years ago, at the same time we looked at the same issue, paying top
0:24:41 > 0:24:45talent because we knew we had to get things right. It has taken a long
0:24:45 > 0:24:50time and this committee has heard today, it's a very complicated
0:24:50 > 0:24:52issue. Don't underestimate our desire to get this right.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Finally, Mps were all of a on Wednesday
0:24:54 > 0:24:58A robin had found its way into the chamber and swooped
0:24:58 > 0:25:01across the ceiling during Welsh questions at the start of the day.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04It was still roosting in the chamber during Prime Minister's Questions,
0:25:04 > 0:25:08the SNP's Westminster leader saw an opportunity to make a quick joke
0:25:08 > 0:25:18joke about David Lidington's possible leadership ambitions.
0:25:21 > 0:25:30I wonder if he's...
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Or perhaps he could put it on Twitter.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35And that's it from me for now but do join Keith Macdougall on BBC
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Parliament on Monday night at 11pm for a full round up
0:25:38 > 0:25:39of the day in Westminster.
0:25:39 > 0:25:49But for now, from me, Alicia McCarthy, goodbye!
