0:00:21 > 0:00:27Hello and welcome to the programme. It's standing date at Prime

0:00:27 > 0:00:34minister's questions were Emily Thorpe very attacks a quest -- the

0:00:34 > 0:00:39Government and the DUP.They are the coalition of casement.He says that

0:00:39 > 0:00:47Weber put up with the aid but doing also the things.Raise the age to

0:00:47 > 0:00:5318, and raise the age for using a sun to 18.Also, MPs backed plans to

0:00:53 > 0:00:58move out of Westminster to allow for multi-billion pound restoration

0:00:58 > 0:01:03programme.Any delay increases the costs.And awards finished their

0:01:03 > 0:01:11first big debate on the Bill chance of earning EU problems the Brexit.

0:01:11 > 0:01:17To limit the damage that threatens the sovereignty of Parliament and

0:01:17 > 0:01:22the national interest.We argue -- the more we argue here, the weaker

0:01:22 > 0:01:28we make big government. Should we not be limited to people's folks.It

0:01:28 > 0:01:33was all change at Prime minister's questions was stop Theresa May is on

0:01:33 > 0:01:37a trip to China attempting to boost trade and relations. As was formal

0:01:37 > 0:01:43talks there was hype -- however misses may and her husband to visit

0:01:43 > 0:01:48an opera performance. Back at Westminster, the lead role at Prime

0:01:48 > 0:01:52Minister Prosser questions have been delegated to the Cabinet office

0:01:52 > 0:01:56Minister David Lidington. He faced the shadow of foreign secretary

0:01:56 > 0:01:59Emily Thornberry. The sages began with a little bit of banter about

0:01:59 > 0:02:04the last time the two had face each other across the despatch box.Let

0:02:04 > 0:02:08me start by welcoming the Minister back to his role deputizing for the

0:02:08 > 0:02:11prime Minister. Last time he did so was in December to says that she

0:02:11 > 0:02:16doesn't succeed when his party was 17 points ahead in the polls and he

0:02:16 > 0:02:20told the House that the Labour Party was I quote, core rolling like the

0:02:20 > 0:02:25film usually on the bouncy reshot by the team who may carry on. Well,

0:02:25 > 0:02:32what a difference a year makes.Can I first bought thanked the right

0:02:32 > 0:02:36honourable Lady for her words of welcome and clear my previous

0:02:36 > 0:02:40remarks struck a chord with her to have been treasured in a way that

0:02:40 > 0:02:46they clearly have. It's a delight to me to see the right honourable lady

0:02:46 > 0:02:53still in her place when no fewer than 97 members of her front bench

0:02:53 > 0:03:03have either been sacked or resigned since she took office.Emily

0:03:03 > 0:03:08Thornberry asked about the number of women in Parliament.I am the only

0:03:08 > 0:03:13Emily elected since 1980. And he is one of 155 David's. For the Minister

0:03:13 > 0:03:17tell us how he can best increased female representation in this House?

0:03:17 > 0:03:23I am pleased that my party since I was first elected 25 years ago has

0:03:23 > 0:03:27made very considerable progress. But I also accept that there is more to

0:03:27 > 0:03:33be done. I hope she for her part well except that we have now had to

0:03:33 > 0:03:39women beaters and prime Ministers so they have a bit of catching up to

0:03:39 > 0:03:43do.Emily Thornberry.I have to say Mr Speaker that if the party

0:03:43 > 0:03:47opposite is so proud of having a female leader, why are so many of

0:03:47 > 0:03:53them trying to get rid of her? And why has she had to run away from

0:03:53 > 0:03:58China -- to China to get away from them?Emily Thornberry then turned

0:03:58 > 0:04:01the 100th anniversary of women winning the right to vote.It was

0:04:01 > 0:04:05originally restricted to women with property over the age of 30 than 90

0:04:05 > 0:04:09years ago it was extended to all women over 21. Almost 50 years ago

0:04:09 > 0:04:15it was extended to all men and women over the age of 15. So can I ask the

0:04:15 > 0:04:19Ministers simple question. I'm any more years we have to wait the

0:04:19 > 0:04:25voters extended to everyone over 60? I have to say I am slightly baffled

0:04:25 > 0:04:30by the honourable Lady's comments when compared what her party did in

0:04:30 > 0:04:36office because it was the last Labour government that praised the

0:04:36 > 0:04:41legal age for buying cigarettes -- raise the legal age to selling ice

0:04:41 > 0:04:45to 18. Raise the age to buy fireworks to 18. And raise the age

0:04:45 > 0:04:52for using a sunbed to 18.What these discussions have revealed is that

0:04:52 > 0:04:56there is no logical principle objection to voter 16. That is why

0:04:56 > 0:05:00the Welsh and Scottish governments supported, that is why every single

0:05:00 > 0:05:02political party in this House supports it except for of course the

0:05:02 > 0:05:09Conservative Party and the DUP. Once again, joins in opposition to

0:05:09 > 0:05:14change, they are not the coalition of chaos Mr Speaker, they are the

0:05:14 > 0:05:18coalition of casement. Why doesn't the Minister realise that the lesson

0:05:18 > 0:05:23that we women it taught his predecessors 100 years ago? When

0:05:23 > 0:05:26changes write it cannot be resisted forever and this is a change whose

0:05:26 > 0:05:38time has come.Mr Speaker, I think my advice to the right honourable

0:05:38 > 0:05:41lady is to wean herself off the habit of watching old versions of

0:05:41 > 0:05:47the Flintstones on the cartoon channel. But the speed -- the

0:05:47 > 0:05:51situation we have here with the national voting age at 18 is one

0:05:51 > 0:05:58that is followed by 26 out of the 27 other members of the European Union

0:05:58 > 0:06:05by the United States, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. Unless she is

0:06:05 > 0:06:11going to denounce all of those countries and are somehow inadequate

0:06:11 > 0:06:14to run particular standards, then quite honestly, Mr Speaker, she

0:06:14 > 0:06:18ought to grow up and treat the subject with a great degree of

0:06:18 > 0:06:28seriousness.And he's at West is returned to a different subject of

0:06:28 > 0:06:31together, Brexit.This is a government in crisis. An

0:06:31 > 0:06:37international embarrassment. The Chancellor, the Scottish Secretary,

0:06:37 > 0:06:41the Scottish Conservatives, the home Secretary have also ported

0:06:41 > 0:06:45membership of the single market. Despite this, the Government is

0:06:45 > 0:06:54still prepared to make everyone... Where is the leadership?The most

0:06:54 > 0:06:57important single market to the people of Scotland is the single

0:06:57 > 0:07:06market of the United Kingdom. Which is worth nearly £50 billion every

0:07:06 > 0:07:13year to the Scottish economy, four times more than trade with the

0:07:13 > 0:07:17European Union. It is our deep and special partnership with the EU in

0:07:17 > 0:07:22the future that will help deliver prosperity to Scotland, not the

0:07:22 > 0:07:25separatist policies pursued by the Scottish National Party.David

0:07:25 > 0:07:32Lidington. A short time later, Labour use one of the days that it

0:07:32 > 0:07:37could use a subject for debate to press the Government to release a

0:07:37 > 0:07:42report that the UK will take an economic hit from praxis. The

0:07:42 > 0:07:47analysis leads to the bus the website said that the UK would

0:07:47 > 0:07:50expands Gore growth long-term under each of three scenarios staying in

0:07:50 > 0:07:55the single market, in the betrayed jewel and even with no deal at all.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58Labour had raised the report their previous stay and helped it had

0:07:58 > 0:08:02found a Parliamentary device to make sure that any vote at the end of

0:08:02 > 0:08:06this debate demanded the release of the papers would be binding on

0:08:06 > 0:08:10Ministers. The Government is says the situation is evolving. The

0:08:10 > 0:08:16document is selective and delete is an attempt to undermine Brexit.

0:08:16 > 0:08:20Ministers in the Government commissioned these papers ended as

0:08:20 > 0:08:27Franco -- frankly ridiculous to rubber stamp or not publishing. If

0:08:27 > 0:08:29they could be shunted Ministers to brief them for an important meeting

0:08:29 > 0:08:35next week, then it seems to me they are certainly way past the stage of

0:08:35 > 0:08:40an early script that hasn't been approved.The Brexit Minister told

0:08:40 > 0:08:45MPs the Government would not oppose labour's motion and released

0:08:45 > 0:08:49economic analysis on a confidential basis.We will provide the analysis

0:08:49 > 0:08:51to a confidential basis. We will provide the analysis place I

0:08:51 > 0:08:55committed the -- committee for the European Union and all members on a

0:08:55 > 0:09:00sticky confidential basis. We will provide a hard copy of the analysis

0:09:00 > 0:09:04to a chair the EU Senate -- select committee. A confidential reading

0:09:04 > 0:09:08room will be available to all members to see a copy of this

0:09:08 > 0:09:12analysis once those arrangements can be made.The Brexit Minister Robin

0:09:12 > 0:09:21Walker. MPs have backed Abe Paul at Parliament to move the permit out of

0:09:21 > 0:09:24my Mr while billions of pounds are being carried out. The building is

0:09:24 > 0:09:28part of a world heritage site, but the stonework is crumbling and there

0:09:28 > 0:09:32are problems with the wiring, pipes and plumbing. This thorny problem of

0:09:32 > 0:09:36how to carry out the repairs has been booked at over the years. The

0:09:36 > 0:09:40most recent committee suggested there were three options. Moving

0:09:40 > 0:09:44out, moving one chamber out at a time and staying put for the word to

0:09:44 > 0:09:49be carried out around MPs. The three options carried correspondingly

0:09:49 > 0:09:55increasing price tags. Opening a debate, the leader of the Commons

0:09:55 > 0:09:59presented MPs with two motions. One of which suggested a further review

0:09:59 > 0:10:03and a second suggesting the setting up of a authority to look over the

0:10:03 > 0:10:09options again and fully cost them. She said she approached the question

0:10:09 > 0:10:14of frustration with the help degree of scepticism.I like many felt that

0:10:14 > 0:10:17the case for a major restoration programme had probably been

0:10:17 > 0:10:22overstated. The Palace of fine to me and that we would be able to

0:10:22 > 0:10:27continue to patch and mend as he went along as we have done for many,

0:10:27 > 0:10:33many decades. However Mr Speaker, during my seven months in the job, I

0:10:33 > 0:10:37have as they say got on a journey. I have lived and breathed this topic.

0:10:37 > 0:10:41I visited the basement and seen for myself what our engineers are up

0:10:41 > 0:10:48against. We must recognise that as time passes without comprehensive

0:10:48 > 0:10:54action, those risks only increase. This work is necessary for safety

0:10:54 > 0:10:57that is been agreed by everyone. We need to do it now, we can't delay.

0:10:57 > 0:11:03Any delay increases the costs.A big den dismiss the idea of moving one

0:11:03 > 0:11:08chamber out at a time.The Conservatives to provide for the

0:11:08 > 0:11:12whole of the House and you cannot decant half of the building.When I

0:11:12 > 0:11:17look at this building and I look at the stunning architecture and the

0:11:17 > 0:11:22condition of it, I actually see it as some sort of sad metaphor for

0:11:22 > 0:11:27Brexit Britain. Dilapidated, falling to bits surrounded, generally

0:11:27 > 0:11:31unloved and in need of a lot of attention and support. Doesn't that

0:11:31 > 0:11:43just sum up what this nation is? Mr Speaker, yes of course I can wait.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46My honourable cousin from Scotland would take a crowbar and says that

0:11:46 > 0:11:54he actually loves it here. Recovering from that, Peter Wishart

0:11:54 > 0:12:00said he favoured turning the House into a Turner's attraction. --

0:12:00 > 0:12:04tourist attraction. An amendment had been put down to back down and

0:12:04 > 0:12:10moving during work. It propose for the delivery agency to be set up as

0:12:10 > 0:12:15soon as possible. One of the MPs behind that amendment explained why.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18He said trying to move one chamber out at a time with double the cost

0:12:18 > 0:12:24and the risk of fire.The thought of cutting a sewer system in half or

0:12:24 > 0:12:29the electrics or any of the other works does not make sense because of

0:12:29 > 0:12:36the nature of the building. I'm sorry to say this, but I wouldn't

0:12:36 > 0:12:39give my honourable friend and I hope he remains a friend from

0:12:39 > 0:12:47Gainsborough a leg to play with. Eight reference thereto Sir Edward

0:12:47 > 0:12:50Lee who put down his own amendment calling for MPs to say in the

0:12:50 > 0:12:53precinct of the Palace of Westminster while the work was

0:12:53 > 0:12:59carried out around them.

0:12:59 > 0:13:02What about the 100 million people over the air and this is the iconic

0:13:02 > 0:13:08centre as we try and resolve these ethical questions. -- the 1 million

0:13:08 > 0:13:14people who visit here every year. Do we really want to take this a day

0:13:14 > 0:13:18number split decision at the very developed hi-fi nation we should

0:13:18 > 0:13:23move lock stock and barrel from the iconic centre of the nation.That

0:13:23 > 0:13:29then followed a series of votes. Unusually, this was what is known as

0:13:29 > 0:13:32a free vote, or MPs did have to follow a party line and could go

0:13:32 > 0:13:37however they wanted. MPs backed the amendment calling for both houses to

0:13:37 > 0:13:43move out of the palace wall work was carried out. 236 votes - 220. No

0:13:43 > 0:13:47date set for one that will happen, but during the debate, Andrea

0:13:47 > 0:13:52Leadsom said MPs and peers would not leave the house of Parliament until

0:13:52 > 0:13:562025 at the earliest. You are watching Wednesday in Parliament

0:13:56 > 0:14:08with me. Now to the second day of debate in the House of Lords on the

0:14:08 > 0:14:12EU withdrawal bill. Which transferee July two UK domestic law on the day

0:14:12 > 0:14:18after Brexit. Ministers could have been left in no doubt a ball as the

0:14:18 > 0:14:22today's war on, but they had a fight on their hands. There were peers for

0:14:22 > 0:14:26and against call for a second referendum but speakers from both

0:14:26 > 0:14:30sides of the debate argued for big changes to the Bill, especially over

0:14:30 > 0:14:34the powers Ministers are seeking to give themselves. A former speaker of

0:14:34 > 0:14:40the Commons set the tone.The duty of your Lordship's is very clear.

0:14:40 > 0:14:48And that duty I submit it to assert our right to scrutinise, to amend,

0:14:48 > 0:14:54and if needs be, to reject unacceptable parts of this bill and

0:14:54 > 0:14:59to use the anti-union arsenal of our powers and prerogatives. To limit

0:14:59 > 0:15:07the damage that threatens the sovereignty of Parliament and the

0:15:07 > 0:15:12national interest.Yes, I will work for amendments to this bill that's

0:15:12 > 0:15:19soften the impact of Brexit safeguard isn't a race, we powers to

0:15:19 > 0:15:25override the legislator. And give Parliament a manifold vote on no

0:15:25 > 0:15:31deal as well. -- a Briggs and safeguard is in place. When we know

0:15:31 > 0:15:35where we are going and how we get there a device logic to a decision

0:15:35 > 0:15:42taken daily to the two years ago without the fax should be the last

0:15:42 > 0:15:48word which is setting the course for our country for decades to come.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51Both Parliament and people was be consulted on this end game.We are

0:15:51 > 0:15:56at a crossroads, without a compass, and with squabbling back-seat

0:15:56 > 0:16:03drivers. And it is important my lords that we really do have

0:16:03 > 0:16:09indication from the Government as to what they see as the preferred

0:16:09 > 0:16:13outcome.This bill is not about the terms or exit. But about the

0:16:13 > 0:16:18mechanism of how it will come. -- the mechanism. We should not be

0:16:18 > 0:16:22distracted by debates on the merits or detriments of leaving the EU. The

0:16:22 > 0:16:27Government themselves have made a commitment to assure Parliament the

0:16:27 > 0:16:31opportunity to consider the deal and approve what they have negotiated.

0:16:31 > 0:16:36This bill passed by the elected House as most noble of lords and

0:16:36 > 0:16:41said, far from perfect. It seems to me that the lawmaking powers of

0:16:41 > 0:16:47Ministers need to be defined and rejected on the face of the Bill,

0:16:47 > 0:16:52then it is to be clarification of the status of EU legislation to

0:16:52 > 0:16:56create legal certainty, and anti-Semitic much clearer devolution

0:16:56 > 0:17:02of powers to Scotland, nor the and Wales match. -- and it needs to be

0:17:02 > 0:17:06much more clever devolution of powers.It should not be a limiting

0:17:06 > 0:17:09the people's vote, and looked as we are, putting together and presented

0:17:09 > 0:17:15the United front by all means improving the Bill before us but let

0:17:15 > 0:17:19us not frustrated.The Government connects back to no let up in our

0:17:19 > 0:17:27efforts to make this bill somehow against all odds work. As we leave

0:17:27 > 0:17:36Europe. As we leave Europe, an act of extraordinary political self harm

0:17:36 > 0:17:40that our grandchildren and their children will not forgive us for.

0:17:40 > 0:17:47The damage this bill would lose our Constitution if not amended has been

0:17:47 > 0:17:51probably did described by a number of Noble Lords. And in a number of

0:17:51 > 0:17:53Noble Lords. For an inadvertent rapport of our Constitution

0:17:53 > 0:17:57committee. They are right to say that this bill is constitutionally

0:17:57 > 0:18:05unacceptable. -- in a brilliant.The reality of it becomes clear. It is

0:18:05 > 0:18:10entitled to choose if he wants to to seek the opinion of the British

0:18:10 > 0:18:15singled as to whether this is what they want.I cannot believe it is in

0:18:15 > 0:18:19the national interest to get onto such a referendum merry-go-round.

0:18:19 > 0:18:24What ever a point of view we fought for in the referendum campaign, we

0:18:24 > 0:18:28could've made it success of the United Kingdom and the European

0:18:28 > 0:18:32Union. And we can make a success with some costs and upheaval of

0:18:32 > 0:18:39being outside the EU. But we cannot possibly make a success of being

0:18:39 > 0:18:42being in a national state of bewilderment I won't will have

0:18:42 > 0:18:47another referendum in which direction we are going in.William,

0:18:47 > 0:18:50now Lord hate. As we heard yesterday's programme, Lord Adonis

0:18:50 > 0:18:55had proposed a motion regretting them not stopping the Bill. -- Lord

0:18:55 > 0:19:00Haig. But he did not present a label. So after to days of debate,

0:19:00 > 0:19:04and speeches by more than a peers, the Bill received its second

0:19:04 > 0:19:10reading. And it will begin his more detailed through Lords in February.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13Now a Government Minister in the Lords house has dramatically

0:19:13 > 0:19:17resigned at the despatch box at making a heartfelt apology for

0:19:17 > 0:19:20failing to be and is placed to respond to a question. Lord Bates

0:19:20 > 0:19:28had been asked to respond from a lesser but failed to appear. At the

0:19:28 > 0:19:32end of questions, he apologised for what he described as his

0:19:32 > 0:19:37discourtesy.I've always believed that we should offer a ride to the

0:19:37 > 0:19:41highest possible standards of courtesy and respect. In responding

0:19:41 > 0:19:45on behalf of the Government to be legitimate questions of the

0:19:45 > 0:19:48legislator. I am thoroughly ashamed of not being in my place and

0:19:48 > 0:19:52therefore I should be offering my recognition to the Prime Minister.

0:19:52 > 0:19:59With immediate...While he immediately walked out of the

0:19:59 > 0:20:03chamber, is that he forgot that the Lord says send prayers in the

0:20:03 > 0:20:06morning before they resumed the second reading debate on the EU

0:20:06 > 0:20:11withdrawal bill. Rather than before the afternoon session of questions

0:20:11 > 0:20:14as usual. This meant the questions had begun rather earlier than

0:20:14 > 0:20:19expected. Downing Street later said the Prime Minister had refused to

0:20:19 > 0:20:26accept his resignation. The BBC's Carrie Gracie has told MPs she is

0:20:26 > 0:20:29very angry at the way the Corporation has treated some female

0:20:29 > 0:20:35members of staff. Kerry Grace resigned as China added their citing

0:20:35 > 0:20:39pay inequalities with male colleagues. The BBC said there was

0:20:39 > 0:20:43no systematic discrimination against women. She told the culture and

0:20:43 > 0:20:49media committee that the response to her grievance was insulting and that

0:20:49 > 0:20:51woman the organisation were suffering more.If the BBC cannot

0:20:51 > 0:20:58sort it out for me, a senior person in a powerful position, then how can

0:20:58 > 0:21:02a sort it out for moldable people who don't have a public profile?

0:21:02 > 0:21:05That is my concern. -- more vulnerable people. People pacing the

0:21:05 > 0:21:12strain of being in conflict at the delays in capacity and the

0:21:12 > 0:21:17belittling of your work because that is what has to happen if they're not

0:21:17 > 0:21:21going to concede, they're going to have to crush your self-esteem about

0:21:21 > 0:21:31your work. So that is very painful. I'd found all of that really hard.

0:21:31 > 0:21:43And I really did... I'm a little upset... I felt very angry about

0:21:43 > 0:21:50what they put some people through. I've really feel angry about some of

0:21:50 > 0:21:55the things I have seen and heard in some of the women, the suffering

0:21:55 > 0:21:59they got through.As regards their own case, she said the BBC had not

0:21:59 > 0:22:03admitted she was the victim to pay discrimination. -- to her own case.

0:22:03 > 0:22:09It sounds like a tacit omission that it is pay discrimination. In that

0:22:09 > 0:22:16they want to pay me now nearly £100,000 in back pay. But, the thing

0:22:16 > 0:22:24that is very unacceptable to me, I just don't know why they do this.

0:22:24 > 0:22:30They basically said and those three previous years, I was in

0:22:30 > 0:22:38development. LAUGHTER It is an insult to add to the original

0:22:38 > 0:22:43injury. It is unacceptable to talk to your senior women like that.The

0:22:43 > 0:22:48next witness was the Director General, Tony Hall.How is

0:22:48 > 0:22:53impossible for one of them to be underpaid for years?The answer is

0:22:53 > 0:22:58that it is wrong.How is a possible? Is not like there is not like

0:22:58 > 0:23:02there's 100.What we are doing going forward is we want to make sure we

0:23:02 > 0:23:09keep these things under review, we don't get the point where the band

0:23:09 > 0:23:14between somebody who's a low-paid and atop a editor is not

0:23:14 > 0:23:18justifiable. What we are saying is who will bring those down so they

0:23:18 > 0:23:22are justifiable and make sure these things are reviewed properly.Do you

0:23:22 > 0:23:27agree with me that the BBC has paid less to women for work of equal

0:23:27 > 0:23:37value?I... The answer is there may be cases, individual cases, where if

0:23:37 > 0:23:43that is the case, we need to know where they are and solve them. But

0:23:43 > 0:23:47what I don't believe is that the BBC as an organisation, have gone out

0:23:47 > 0:23:52and said because it will be a little to do so anyway, because the woman I

0:23:52 > 0:24:00pay less to do that job. I don't believe...To go back to the case of

0:24:00 > 0:24:06Carrie of being pay less.I have said already the grievance and the

0:24:06 > 0:24:12mistakes the grievance procedure has found, I accept the role and I'm

0:24:12 > 0:24:19sorry about that.That was a big failure of management, within a? The

0:24:19 > 0:24:26systems were not in place to deal with that. No,... Are you saying no

0:24:26 > 0:24:31it wasn't a failure.What I'm saying is that for me management has about

0:24:31 > 0:24:36learning and listening. Things are never right, that is why we are

0:24:36 > 0:24:41processing performed in pain condition, terms and conditions, two

0:24:41 > 0:24:44years ago, James Hardie at the same time also looked at this whole issue

0:24:44 > 0:24:49of top talent page news because we knew we had things to get right. It

0:24:49 > 0:24:54has taken a long time and as is committee heard today, these are

0:24:54 > 0:24:56very competent issues. But don't underestimate our desire to get this

0:24:56 > 0:25:03right.The BBC Director General, Tony Hall. Finally, MPs were all

0:25:03 > 0:25:07over Twitter during questions and not in the usual way. A Robin have

0:25:07 > 0:25:11found its way into the chamber and swooped across the ceiling during

0:25:11 > 0:25:15Wales questions at the start of the day. Half an hour later, it was

0:25:15 > 0:25:20still roosting in the chamber during Prime Minister questions. The SNP

0:25:20 > 0:25:24Westminster later signed opportunity to make a quick joke about David

0:25:24 > 0:25:28Lidington's possible leadership ambitions.Then I welcome the

0:25:28 > 0:25:31Minister to his place with the reports are true, he may be

0:25:31 > 0:25:34auditioning for a new role and I wonder if a sending out a

0:25:34 > 0:25:39round-robin letter. Mr Speaker...Or perhaps he could just put on

0:25:39 > 0:25:44twitter. And that is that from us for now. Join me at the same time

0:25:44 > 0:25:48tomorrow for another round up of the day here at Westminster. For now for

0:25:48 > 0:25:52me, Lazio Mccarthy, goodbye. -- Alysia Mccarthy.
