BBC Radio 4 - Today in Parliament, 10/05/2012

Sean Curran with the best of the day's debates in the Commons and the Lords.

The Queen may have departed from Parliament but the debates on the Queen's Speech are only just beginning. Both MPs and peers took part in lively discussions on different aspects of the Government's programme. Home Secretary Theresa May spoke about law and order issues in the Commons, while Lord Strathclyde led a debate on constitutional changes, in the House of Lords. 
Also on the programme: 
* Arguments fly in the Commons over the Government's decision to block a so-called 'Health Risk Register', detailing what the effects might be of the recent Health Act's changes to the running of the NHS in England . 
* Peter Mulligan reports on the Government's U-turn over the type of jet fighter aircraft that will fly from the Royal Navy's new aircraft carriers.

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