All the news from Westminster as MPs and Peers discuss public spending ahead of next week's Budget. And peers have some new ideas for tackling urban foxes. With Sean Curran.
Sean Curran reports on the proceedings in the Commons and Lords where, ahead of the Budget, all minds are focused on public spending. There's a statement from the new Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Danny Alexander on where some of the cuts will be made. And in the House of Lords, Lord - Alan - Sugar calls a debate on the impact of plans to increase capital gains tax. MPs also quiz ministers on the extent to which transport, including free bus passes for older people and rail electrification, will bear the brunt. On a lighter note, peers come up with novel ways to tackle the menace of urban foxes.
