David Cameron speaks about Nato's role in the fight against Isis. MPs also react to the opinion poll shifts in the Scottish independence battle. Susan Hulme reports.

Tension over the future of the United Kingdom and the uncertain situation in Iraq were the main issues when David Cameron briefed MPs on last week's NATO summit in Wales. Susan Hulme has the main points from the Prime Minister's Commons statement and the reactions of MPs to it.

Also on the programme:

* Parliament's public spending watchdog examines the performance of private sector firms that carry out contract work for the Government.
* How well are Ministers doing in stopping young British Moslems from becoming radical Jihadists?
And
* The latest in the long-running row over allegations that Northern Ireland's "On The Run" criminals were given letters that amounted to an amnesty.

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