The week in Westminster: January 24th - January 28th

Friday, 21 January 2011 12:00 AM

The European Union bill is working its way through the Commons this week.

It's already been the subject of much grumbling from the Tory backbenches, and more sparks could fly as the nitty-gritty of the proposed legislation is worked through on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

After prime minister's questions home secretary Theresa May is expected to make a statement on the findings of the coalition's counter-terrorism review.

And in the Lords, peers will be getting back to normal after last week's unusual late-night sittings over the parliamentary voting system and constituencies bill.
