The main political story of the day has been Labour MP Keith Vaz's resignation as chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee, following newspaper claims he paid for the services of two male sex workers.
Mr Vaz said it was in the "best interest" of the committee for him to step down - after nine years at the helm - so the committee could continue its work "without any distractions".
