Today in Parliament - 25/01/2011

The Health Secretary defends sweeping changes to the NHS against claims that GPs will qualify for banker-style bonuses and private firms will win major contracts. In the face of hostile questioning in the Commons from Labour, Mr Lansley insists that the shake-up, with GPs given a greater role in commissioning treatment, would improve quality across the health service. In the Lords, peers continue their marathon debate on the Government's plans for cutting the number of MPs and a referendum on changes to the voting system. While in Westminster Hall, MPs voice concerns over the future of local library services. Rachel Byrne and team report on today's events in Parliament.
