The Week Ahead

In the US Congress work continues on the economic Stimulus Package - Steny Hoyer is reported to be expecting the House vote to take place on Wednesday. The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act is also expected to be considered this week. In the Senate more votes are expected on confirmations, with Geithner's taking place on Monday and Holder later in the week.

At Westminster the business is set out at http://services.parliament.uk/calendar/2009/01/26/week.html. Highlights will include an Opposition Day debate on Heathrow - and I'm sure the Sunday Times allegations about some Peers being prepared to accept money for assisting with legislative amendments (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article5581547.ece) will be raised.
