Susan Hulme and the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ parliamentary team report as MPs debate the threat from Islamic State, call for regulation of kitten and puppy sales and press for a cut in stamp duty.
MPs question the Government over whether the UK will join the United States in carrying out air strikes on Islamic State extremists in Iraq and Syria.
The Commons Leader and former Foreign Secretary, William Hague, says no military action is proposed "at the moment". But he tells MPs air strikes remain an option.
There are calls for a ban on the sale of puppies and kittens in pet shops to prevent Britain becoming a nation with "disposable pets".
Conservative MPs press the Chancellor to scrap stamp duty on the sale of homes valued at under Β£500,000.
And a committee inquiry hears that around 7.5 million people may end up missing out on their right to vote - because they're not "correctly registered".
