MPs condemn the decision to withdraw rescue missions for migrants in the Mediterranean. Alicia McCarthy reports on that and the best of the rest of the day at Westminster.

Alicia McCarthy presents the highlights of Thursday in the Commons and the Lords:

* MPs react to news that search and rescue missions for migrants in the Mediterranean are being stopped.

* Are strong penalties on drug taking effective or ineffective? Drugs policies are debated in the Commons.

* Former LibDem leader Paddy Ashdown calls for an inquiry into Britain's 13-year military operation in Afghanistan.

* And the 'green' credentials of the Environment Secretary Liz Truss are called into question.
