Veteran soldier forced to remortgage his home to have pioneering surgery in Australia so he could get new legs.

A soldier who was the face of the 2012 Poppy Appeal has been forced to remortgage his home to pay for pioneering surgery in Australia to get new legs. Clive Smith lost both his legs in a roadside bomb in Afghanistan's Helmand province. Since then the pain he has suffered from the artificial limbs he received on the NHS has led to him being confined to a wheelchair. Clive tells Peter he's disappointed that NHS prosthetic care wasn't good enough to help him. Also today, was an unidentified man found near a plane crash site paying a final pilgrimage before he died? And it's our weekly MPs panel. Amongst other issues, we debate the merits of wearing pyjamas for the school run.
