Sean Curran reports from Westminster on the first Prime Minister's Questions of 2011 where bankers' bonuses dominate the exchanges. The Labour leader, Ed Miliband brands David Cameron the "defender of the banks", accusing him of failing to take action on City pay and bonuses. The Prime Minister retorts that the last Government failed to regulate the City or impose conditions restricting bonuses when it bailed out the banks. In the Lords, peers discuss the case of the undercover police officer, Mark Kennedy, who infiltrated an environmental group. There's a report on legislation to privatise the Royal Mail; coalition rebels call on the Government to protect post offices by guaranteeing a 10-year deal with the Royal Mail. And MPs discuss how to secure the UK's food supplies.
