BBC Radio 4 - Today in Parliament, 16/02/2011

Rachel Byrne reports on the Bill that brings in a referendum on how we elect our MPs.

The Bill that brings in a referendum on how we elect our MPs has been the subject of a fierce struggle between the Commons and the Lords. Rachel Byrne has the best of that, along with the highlights of this week's Prime Minister's Question time, when David Cameron and Ed Miliband clashed over the worsening unemployment figures. Also on the programme, Kristiina Cooper reports on the arguments on the Bill that allows private buyers to take over the Royal Mail. And Simon Jones covers reaction to the disclosure that paedophiles and rapists in England and Wales will be able to apply to have their names taken off the sex offenders register.
