Rachel Byrne presents a round-up of the day at Westminster, when Labour accused the Coalition Government of caving in to the demands of banks to be free to pay the bonuses they want to their investment bankers. At the same time, the boss of Barclay's Bank Bob Diamond faced some tough questioning from a committee of MPs over the issue of bonuses, and in particular the bonus that he is expected to be awarded. Will he take it in full? Or will the Barclay's boss decline to take it? Also on the programme. * Kristiina Cooper reports on the latest Commons arguments over how much British sovereignty is continuing to be surrendered by the country's membership of the European Union. * Simon Jones follows the exchanges over the Government's decision to allow prison inmates the right to vote.
