Sean Curran reports as MPs return to Westminster after the conference season.

A busy day in both the Commons and the Lords. Sean Curran presents a review of the day's events.

As the Commons returns from its conference break, MPs have been hearing details of the tragic death of the kidnapped British aid worker Linda Norgrove, who died during a daring attempt by American special forces to free her from captivity in Afghanistan. Sean Curran reports on the statement on the incident by the Foreign Secretary William Hague. Also on the programme, Chris Bond covers the latest debate on how best to shake up the House of Lords. Peter Mulligan analyses the debut performance of the newly appointed Shadow Education Secretary Andy Burnham. And Simon Jones reports on the Work & Pensions Secretary's latest announcements on welfare reform.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
