Synopsis

Sean Curran with the day's top stories from Westminster, where a Conservative former Cabinet Minister calls for the Treasury-backed RBS to be broken up and sold off.

The Leader of the Commons comes under pressure over the Government's controversial plans to shake-up the NHS in England.

Labour and the Conservatives clash over who's to blame for rising rail fares.

Amid concern over the number of cyclists killed and injured on our roads, MPs debate how to make cycling safer.

An expert suggests MPs should learn to "talk human" to make the most of the Commons committee system.

And a Labour frontbencher suggests that MPs be allowed to take toys to Parliament on the last day of term, if the Prime Minister doesn't want to face them at question time.
