Mark D'Arcy reports on both the day's debates in the Commons and the current political scene, after a turbulent week of ministerial comings and goings.

As the Commons hears pleas for better recognition of those who spend hours of their lives caring for an elderly relative, Mark D'Arcy brings us the best of the debate. Also on the programme: There's a new government chief whip. So will he be exerting greater discipline over the Coalition's often troublesome and rebellious MPs ? And do ministerial reshuffles actually make for an efficient way of running the country?. One senior MP plans to invite past and present Prime Ministers to a committee inquiry studying the precise value of reshuffles.
