The Week Ahead

This is the last week before the Presidents' Day recess, so the stimulus bill is likely to dominate the agenda of both Houses of Congress. The target has been to have a bill ready for the President's signature before the recess starts. There may be further action on confirmations in the Senate.

At Westminster a busy week is expected before recess for 'half term' begins at the close of business on Thursday. The House of Commons will take the Political Parties and Elections Bill – Report stage (day 1) on Monday.
