A Home Office Minister tells MPs that a second Serco staff member has been suspended from the Yarl's Wood detention centre after "serious and deeply concerning" allegations made in television documentary.
The Governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, faces questions over foreign exchange rate-rigging.
