:02:04. > :02:08.tens of millions of pounds for electronic tagging contracts. He
:02:08. > :02:12.said that it emerged that the firms were charging for people in prison,
:02:12. > :02:16.who had left the country and for people who were dead. Here is some
:02:16. > :02:19.of what he told MPs. This audit confirmed that the
:02:19. > :02:24.circumstances in which the department was billed for services.
:02:24. > :02:28.This has included instances where our suppliers were not in fact
:02:28. > :02:33.providing electronic monitoring. It included charges for people in
:02:33. > :02:37.prison, that had had tags removed. For people who had left the country,
:02:37. > :02:41.and those who had never been tagged in the first place but who had
:02:41. > :02:44.instead been returned to court. There are a small number of cases
:02:44. > :02:47.where charging continued for a period when the subject was known to
:02:47. > :02:52.have died. In some instances, charging
:02:52. > :02:57.continued for a period of many months, indeed years after active
:02:57. > :03:02.monitoring had creased. The House will share my view that this is a
:03:02. > :03:07.wholly indefensible and unacceptable state of affairs.
:03:07. > :03:11.So, the Justice Secretary there in the Commons in the last hour. Let's
:03:11. > :03:16.get more details. Those are eye watering figures. What more do we
:03:16. > :03:21.know? Yes, potentially, the department, the Ministry of Justice
:03:21. > :03:25.was overcharged by an amount in the low tens of millions of pounds. To
:03:25. > :03:29.explain, Serco and G4S are responsible for fitting the tags to
:03:29. > :03:33.offenders. Often they are released from prison, they are on probation.
:03:33. > :03:38.They charge for that and the monitoring of them it seems that the
:03:38. > :03:42.Ministry of Justice was carrying out a review in the way it arranges the
:03:42. > :03:46.contracts and discovered this anom lee running into the tens of
:03:46. > :03:50.millions of pounds. You heard of people not wearing tags, the
:03:50. > :03:55.department being charged for the tags being fitted it goes back we
:03:55. > :03:59.are told to months and years, in some cases, possibly back to 1999.
:03:59. > :04:04.Chris Grayling was saying that there was a failure in his own department
:04:04. > :04:09.to discover that this was going on, that nothing was done to address the
:04:09. > :04:14.problems, he says, now the question is, were the mistakes made in the
:04:14. > :04:18.companies, or is there a degree of dishonesty? Have we heard anything
:04:18. > :04:23.from either of the companies mentioned? Nothing officially.
:04:23. > :04:27.Serco, as he said agreed to the independent audit of what went on.
:04:27. > :04:32.So that will happen. G4S did not agree to that. The Government said
:04:32. > :04:37.that was a concern to them. Nothing official from G4S but I have heard
:04:37. > :04:42.from a source there, that they are co-operating fully. They have done
:04:42. > :04:48.their review and discovered no evidence of any sort of dishonesty.
:04:48. > :04:52.That review has . They say that they warned the department, the Ministry
:04:52. > :04:56.of Justice, some years ago, that there may be anomalies in the
:04:56. > :05:00.contracting process. They say that they followed their contract with
:05:00. > :05:05.the Ministry of Justice in full, but those are unofficial comments from
:05:05. > :05:08.somebody I have spoken to but no official comment from G4S. Thank you
:05:08. > :05:12.very much. The Prime Minister says he believes
:05:12. > :05:16.that MPs should not receive a large pay rise while the pay of public
:05:16. > :05:20.sector workers is being frozen or restrained.
:05:20. > :05:25.An independent body, IPSA, recommended an increase of more than
:05:25. > :05:31.11%, taking an MPs' salary to �74,000 after the next general
:05:31. > :05:35.election. IPSA's chairman, Sir Ian Kennedy, defended his proposals.
:05:35. > :05:41.Saying that suggestions from successive poi bodies were rejected
:05:41. > :05:46.by previous governments for political reasons and sewn the seeds
:05:46. > :05:50.of the political scandal. MPs used to decide their own
:05:50. > :05:55.salaries but decisions are taken now by IPSA. While many face a salary
:05:55. > :06:00.increase of 1%, they are proposing to give politicians an increase of
:06:00. > :06:07.about 10% in 2015. This is not just pay but talking
:06:07. > :06:11.about modernising the system of remunerating MPs' pace, pensions,
:06:11. > :06:15.golden goodbyes, a range of things. Why do it now? Well, there is never
:06:15. > :06:20.a good time. That is the reason it has never been done, that is the
:06:20. > :06:24.reason we are in the mess we are in. So, under the Independent
:06:24. > :06:31.Parliamentary Standards Authority proposals, the MPs' pay goes up from
:06:31. > :06:35.about �66,000, to �74,000 in to 15, costing the taxpayer more than �4. 5
:06:35. > :06:40.million, but the savings are that of a less generous pension saving
:06:40. > :06:43.nearly �2. 5 million. Ending some expenses, including covering the
:06:43. > :06:49.costs of meals and reducing pay-offs.
:06:49. > :06:54.But when the costs and the savings are added up, the price we pay for a
:06:54. > :06:58.police will be half a million pounds higher in 2015 be that now, but
:06:58. > :07:02.these are proposals, there will be consultations with the wider public
:07:02. > :07:06.in the summer, but from my own consultations in the heart of the
:07:06. > :07:11.Commons, I could not find any MPs to support them.
:07:11. > :07:17.It is laughable. To be even considering accepting a pay rise of
:07:17. > :07:19.that magnitude when so many other people are on no increases. This
:07:19. > :07:23.organisation, ip ip -- Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority,
:07:23. > :07:28.it is a bit of a silly organisation. The pay rise, as far as I am
:07:28. > :07:35.concerned, they can stick it. I don't think we should be getting a
:07:35. > :07:43.pay rise when nurses, teachers are facing low pay increases or not at
:07:43. > :07:51.all. A head teacher outside of London is paid about �48,000 --
:07:51. > :07:56.78,000. A Chief Superintendent has been �78,000. A senior civil
:07:56. > :08:01.servient about �88,000. Here in Swansea there is a higher
:08:01. > :08:04.number of modestly paid public servants and not much sympathy for
:08:04. > :08:08.the MPs. This is unfair the amount that the
:08:08. > :08:12.salaries could go up. I think that selfish is the word.
:08:12. > :08:17.It was the unpopular expenses scandal that led to an independent
:08:17. > :08:20.body setting the MPs' pay, but this could replace one problem with
:08:20. > :08:24.another. Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority said that they
:08:24. > :08:28.found the issue of MPs' pay thorny and controversial. Well if they are
:08:28. > :08:32.right about one thing, they are right about that.
:08:32. > :08:37.Let's head to our Political Correspondent Norman Smith outside
:08:37. > :08:42.now at Westminster. Lots of disquiet expressed there, Norman but will
:08:42. > :08:47.this go through, still? Well, the sense, is that the only thing set to
:08:47. > :08:53.rise faster than MPs' pay is public indig nation, but what the MPs don't
:08:53. > :08:55.know is what to do about this. Parliament seems impotent, because
:08:55. > :08:59.Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority is an independent body. In
:09:00. > :09:04.order to ensure that MPs can no get their hands in the cash till, it
:09:04. > :09:09.would seem that the only real option is for individual MPs themselves to
:09:09. > :09:14.decide not to take the money. Now we know that Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg
:09:14. > :09:19.have said that they will not take the money. David Cameron has sa so
:09:19. > :09:25.far remained silent on the issue, but in the next election, in
:09:25. > :09:29.constituencies up and down the country, we could be facing y Monty
:09:29. > :09:35.Python Spanish inquisition style scenario when candidates are placed
:09:35. > :09:39.on the rack by Cardinal Hack, and told to repent if they wish for a
:09:39. > :09:41.chance to ere-elected, but then Independent Parliamentary Standards
:09:41. > :09:46.Authority are still saying that there is no way for the MPs to pay
:09:46. > :09:51.the money back. At the end of the day it could come down to individual
:09:51. > :09:55.MPs deciding to write out a cheque to their favourite charity.
:09:55. > :10:00.Norman, thank you. NHS England is warning that it could
:10:00. > :10:05.face a �30 billion funding gap by the end of the decade unless changes
:10:05. > :10:10.are made to the way that services are provided. Its chief executive,
:10:10. > :10:15.Sir David Nicholson says there should be an honest and realistic
:10:15. > :10:20.debate involving members of the public, staff and politicians.
:10:20. > :10:24.Hospitals in England are being asked to find a share of savings, the
:10:24. > :10:28.demand for healthcare is growing constantly with more elderly
:10:28. > :10:33.patients with many health problems and new treatments and technologies.
:10:33. > :10:35.Now there is is a warning that hospital care has to change with
:10:35. > :10:39.services delivered in fewer hospitals.
:10:39. > :10:43.The man running the NHS in England says it is the only way to keep
:10:43. > :10:49.giving patients good care. The alternative is to try to spread the
:10:49. > :10:54.money too thinly over the NHS. It is a really stark choice, to go
:10:54. > :10:57.for service change, change in the way to deliver services to the
:10:57. > :11:02.patients or sleep walking in to a position where we reduce the
:11:02. > :11:07.quality? The pressures on A&E are part of a picture of rising demand,
:11:07. > :11:11.but the department here is having to double in size just to cope. Today
:11:11. > :11:16.there is a further stark warning of the financial pressures ahead.
:11:16. > :11:25.. In England the NHS funding gap between its budget and the rising
:11:25. > :11:33.costs adds up to �20 billion by 2014/2015. The budget forecast to go
:11:33. > :11:39.up by 0. 01%. In 2016. That is leaving the health service finding
:11:39. > :11:42.an extra �30 worth of savings. This is the biggest challenge that
:11:42. > :11:47.the National Health Service is facing in its history. They will
:11:47. > :11:52.have to be brave to engage with the public to talk about why the changes
:11:52. > :11:56.have to take place to deliver better care within the resources.
:11:56. > :12:00.Moving services from some local hospitals is controversial. Many
:12:00. > :12:03.medical organisations accept it may be the best solution but it often
:12:03. > :12:11.meets strong opposition from politicians and from local
:12:11. > :12:15.communities, not convinced that it will improve the care.
:12:15. > :12:23.England have been fighting back on the second day of the first Ashes

:12:29. > :12:33.193-9. Yesterday England were bowl outside out for 2015.
:12:33. > :12:38.Well, it is all going on here. This is Test Match cricket but not as we
:12:38. > :12:45.know it. We have had four sessions of the match by now. England should
:12:45. > :12:49.have started their second innings. Today a five wickets play and a bit
:12:49. > :12:53.of a teenage sensation. A morning of cricket you could not take your eyes

:12:58. > :13:03.Trent. Here the pace of life matches the environment. If time, why not
:13:03. > :13:08.take it? Try telling the batsmen. At the cricket, things were moving
:13:08. > :13:12.quicker than anyone expected, unless it was Stuart Broad's injured
:13:12. > :13:18.shoulder. In this Test Match of wickets, batting seemed almost
:13:18. > :13:23.impossible. It should not be. A 50 for Steve Smith. A batsman known to

:13:41. > :13:46.seeming to sizzle out. But hang on, eight down.

:14:15. > :14:21.watching the wickets fall but he is aggressive. Australia headed past
:14:21. > :14:25.150, when they thought they were at their mercy. Next Ashton Agar
:14:25. > :14:30.walloped Graeme Swann for six. The cheek of it. Why was batting so
:14:30. > :14:34.difficult for everyone else? That young man, Ashton Agar is 56 not
:14:34. > :14:39.out. He was a surprise pick for the bowling. He is now the top scorer in
:14:39. > :14:45.the match. Stuart Broad has not bowled a ball for England with his
:14:45. > :14:50.dodgy shoulder. They are operating with three bowlers. Australia 202-9,

:22:20. > :22:25.would accept a transplant organ if they needed one, but only 57% of
:22:25. > :22:31.families agree to donation when asked. NHS NHS Blood and Transplant
:22:31. > :22:35.says it wants a revolution in public behaviour, so organ donation is seen

:22:39. > :22:44.considering whether families should be prevented from overriding
:22:44. > :22:47.existing consent. People tell us there's no point signing the
:22:47. > :22:52.register if their family can overrule their wishes. They can be
:22:52. > :22:55.upset by that. If you have decided you want to be a donor, we want to
:22:55. > :23:00.make your wish come true. We want to make it happen for you. We want to
:23:00. > :23:04.work with families to help them accept that was your wish and we
:23:04. > :23:08.should fulfil it. The strategy document asks for a public debate to

:24:21. > :24:25.There are people on the tarmac with critical injuries. There is a woman
:24:25. > :24:31.here, we are trying to keep her alive. Questions are swirling around
:24:32. > :24:40.about how the Boeing 777 came to crash. Most experts believe the
:24:40. > :24:44.pilots were approaching too slowly and too low.
:24:44. > :24:50.A passenger's recollection seems to back up the theory. We were so close
:24:50. > :24:55.to the water. We were praying, through my window and that is when I
:24:55. > :24:59.realised, this is wrong. I realised we would miss the runway. Questions
:24:59. > :25:04.remain about whether evacuation rules were followed properly. Some
:25:04. > :25:10.reports suggest the pilots didn't want to evacuate the plane when it
:25:10. > :25:13.crashed to a standstill, despite the pleadings of the flight attendants.
:25:13. > :25:18.Investigators will look at why there was a delay. A manufacturer has to
:25:18. > :25:22.show that a fully-loaded aircraft can be fully evacuated within 90
:25:22. > :25:30.seconds. What we saw here was the first doors and slides were not
:25:30. > :25:36.opened for about 90 seconds. Some of the cabin crew have been appearing
:25:36. > :25:40.in public clearly traumatised. Three staff remain in hospital having been
:25:40. > :25:46.flung from the wreckage as the Boeing crashed. It remains something
:25:46. > :25:54.of a miracle that only two of the 307 people on board were killed in
:25:55. > :25:59.Thousands of people are expected to visit Buckingham Palace in the next
:25:59. > :26:03.few days to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Queen's
:26:03. > :26:08.coronation. A four-day festival gets under way today and is showcasing
:26:08. > :26:14.more than 200 companies granted the Royal Warrant of appointment. Our
:26:14. > :26:18.royal correspondent is at the palace.
:26:18. > :26:25.Rather an unusual event this. It has been compared to a very upmarket
:26:25. > :26:29.trade fair, to mark the 60 years since the Queen's coronation. The
:26:29. > :26:33.Royal Warrant holders association is selling their goods here in the
:26:33. > :26:37.grounds of Buckingham Palace and promoting British business.
:26:37. > :26:43.They are the grounds of Buckingham Palace as they have rarely, perhaps
:26:43. > :26:46.never, been seen before. Dotted across the lawns are scores of
:26:46. > :26:51.stands selling exclusive merchandise. They are all companies
:26:51. > :26:55.which hold the Royal Warrant. In other words, companies which supply
:26:55. > :26:59.goods to the Queen, her husband or eldest son. They will be selling as
:26:59. > :27:06.much as their merchandise as possible to ticket-holding guests.
:27:06. > :27:11.Everything from a smart limousine to top hats and silk ties. Store
:27:11. > :27:16.holders are hoping for a profitable few days. 12,000 people a day are
:27:16. > :27:21.coming to this. People hope to do good business. I am sure they are.
:27:21. > :27:26.All this begs the question - whether it is an appropriate thing to do in
:27:26. > :27:31.the palace grounds? The organisers say it is. It has to be commercial
:27:31. > :27:35.because nobody can afford to put this on. It is an appropriate use of
:27:35. > :27:39.the gardens because the greater aim is to build exports.
:27:39. > :27:43.This demonstration of British craftsmanship and commercial
:27:43. > :27:48.endeavour is nomally to mark the Queen's 60 years since the
:27:48. > :27:53.coronation. In reality it is a moment when the Queen has brought
:27:53. > :27:58.efforts to promote British commerce right into her back garden and the
:27:58. > :28:02.Queen will go around her back garden with other members of the Royal
:28:02. > :28:12.Family, no doubt trying out some of the stands. She will attend a
:28:12. > :28:16.
:28:16. > :28:22.concert here tonight. That will be Sunny in that particular back
:28:22. > :28:27.garden. What it is like for everybody?
:28:27. > :28:31.A lot of good weather over the next few days. The theme is
:28:32. > :28:36.straightforward - for most spells of sunshine at times. For most it will
:28:36. > :28:39.stay warm. Some subtle changes in where the very warmest weather of
:28:39. > :28:44.all is going to be. At the moment Northern Ireland is the warmest of
:28:44. > :28:49.all. Already we have got to 26 sellsy yuss. By the end of the week
:28:50. > :28:53.-- Celsius. By the end of the weekend it will be southern England
:28:53. > :28:57.that will see the warmest conditions. Plenty of sunshine to be
:28:58. > :29:03.had. Different for the far north of Scotland. Mist and murk around the
:29:03. > :29:08.coast here. There is a small chance, just a small chance, that we will
:29:08. > :29:15.catch a shower over the Grampian Grampians. For the bulk of England
:29:15. > :29:19.and Wales it is fine as well. A bit more cloud for some of the coasts of
:29:19. > :29:24.Lincolnshire, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire as well. Pleasantly
:29:24. > :29:28.warm here, with temperatures 21-24 Celsius. That should feel nice. A
:29:28. > :29:32.good deem of sunshine at Trent Bridge for the cricket. More
:29:32. > :29:37.sunshine again by the time we get to tomorrow, when the temperatures will
:29:37. > :29:47.be on the rise as well. We have a lot of cloud in the North Sea. That
:29:47. > :29:49.
:29:49. > :29:52.will roll inland, getting as far tomorrow, we do it all again. Some
:29:52. > :29:56.eastern areas will start off cloudy. Most of that should burn back
:29:56. > :29:59.through the coast. We will see spells of sunshine developing. There
:29:59. > :30:04.is a small chance of a shower through Northern Ireland and
:30:04. > :30:08.southern Scotland. If you catch one it will be heavy. Most places will
:30:08. > :30:14.stay dry. Where we have cloud across the east coast, temperatures peg
:30:14. > :30:18.back to 19-20 Celsius. The warmest in the west. That will start to
:30:18. > :30:21.change a little bit as we head through Friday night. This cold
:30:21. > :30:27.front starts to work into the picture. That will start to squash
:30:27. > :30:31.all of the heat down into the south and the south east. Here we will see
:30:31. > :30:35.the highest temperatures. I would not be surprised if somewhere got to
:30:35. > :30:39.30 Celsius. In Northern Ireland, where we have got used to warm
:30:39. > :30:42.conditions, things will feel cooler as we see more cloud working in,
:30:43. > :30:46.maybe the odd spot of rain and perhaps a heavy shower as well over
:30:46. > :30:52.northern England. A small chance of a shower further south. Southern
:30:52. > :30:57.areas will be sunny and hot, as I mention 28-30 Celsius is possible.
:30:57. > :31:02.Fine and sunny for most of us. The warmest weather of all will move
:31:02. > :31:06.further south. Lovely! Sound good! . Thank you. A
