Susan Hulme and the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ parliamentary team report, as peers investigate the future of the Olympic Stadium and ministers face criticism over the cost of a proposed supersewer.
Peers are told that West Ham football club will have to pay off all its bank debt before it can move to the Olympic stadium.
But West Ham vice-chairman Karren Brady tells a House of Lords committee that the club was not getting the stadium on the cheap and that the deal was good value to the tax-payer.
Peers press the Government to consider alternative sewage solutions before it commits to handing over taxpayers' money to fund a "super sewer" tunnel in London.
And peers begin their consideration of the Government's plans for overhauling the banking system.
Susan Hulme and team report on today's events in Parliament.
