BBC Radio 4 - Today in Parliament, 06/12/2011

Susan Hulme presents the day's top news stories from Westminster.

Susan Hulme has the best of the day in the Commons and the Lords.

George Osborne and Ed Balls clash twice in the Commons over the state of the economy. And an ex-Chancellor gives his prescription for the UK's economic future. Susan Hulme has the highlights. Also on the programme, why does the Office for Budget Responsibility fail to get its forecast figures more accurate? Peers look ahead to the week's EU Summit in Brussels . And is the system of criminal records checks too bureaucratic? Or are they a vital safeguard to protect children?

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