Susan Hulme and the 大象传媒'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.
