Susan Hulme and the BBC's parliamentary team with the day's top news stories from Westminster. The Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin announces the extension of the high speed rail line. MPs are divided over whether it's a benefit - or a blight. And there are challenging questions for the tax authorities over the cost to the public of calling the Inland Revenue. Also on the programme: a bid to enable people of any faith to become monarch; the impact of the "bedroom tax" on housing benefit claimants; and MPs go to Scotland to investigate the foreign policy implications of independence.
