  1. Good afternoon

    Welcome to our coverage of the House of Commons and the House of Lords. Both houses get down to work at 2.30pm with questions to Ministers from the Department for Work and Pensions in the Commons and the usual array of subjects at Lords question-time.

    Things will hot up at 3.30pm with Labour's urgent question on the government's handling of the case of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, the British-Iranian woman held in Iran.

    We'll be following the day in both houses, plus a debate in Westminster Hall prompted by petitions on a referendum on Scottish independence.
