Alicia McCarthy and team report on the day's top stories from Westminster, where Peers worry that if under 18 year olds are allowed to take part in the referendum on Scottish independence it would set a precedent for other UK votes. The independence or otherwise of the review into the West Coast Main Line franchising process is also raised with the Government. And there's reaction to the collapse of the proposed multi-billion pound merger between BAE Systems and the Franco-German aerospace giant EADS. Plus a report on what ex-Ministers do after being reduced to the ranks.
