Hey team.
MPs focus on Estimates Day debates this week.
This is where the Commons scrutinises spending by government departments. At the end of the week, they'll vote on legislation to write it all into law.
Meanwhile, the Lords talk planning.
Peers will scrutinise the Planning and Infrastructure Bill for the first time.
And Reform puts sentencing reviews on the agenda.
Richard Tice, the party's deputy leader, brings a ten minute rule motion to allow the public to petition against sentences that they deem too strict or lenient.
Until next week. In the meantime, feel free to tweet me, or just reply to this email.
