THE DAILY POLITICS Big deal. We're talking about a hunting bill which affects people's lives. It's much more important than one day in parliament. Otis Ferry Latest show Subscribe to our streams Need help?

1130 Andrew welcomes our guests for today's programme: John Denham, the chair of the Home Affairs Select Committee, and Theresa May, Shadow Leader Of The Commons.

1138 When you shut your eyes, lie back and think of the English summer, what do you imagine? Pimms, strawberries and punting down the river with strains of Elgar wafting over the meadows, most likely. But now this great British tradition is taking on an Eastern European edge, with many jobs now being done by Estonian and Polish workers. Giles is in Cambridge to find out more.

1140 It's now ten days since John Prescott lost his department but kept his �133,000 Cabinet salary, his country house, his grace-and-favour apartment, and his official Jaguar. Today we get to find out what it's all for, as he's answering questions in the Commons about his responsibilities. Jenny and the team have been doing their own detective work.
We've tried to keep across Mr Prescott's every "public" move. We think he's been to Cabinet; he was certainly spotted entering the door of Number Ten last week. He also took a prominent place behind his boss at last week's Prime Minister's Question time, not looking too unhappy about his ministerial salary or lack of department. But what has he done of policy substance?
His first public engagement was earlier this week at the launch of Labour's "Let's Talk" conference, where he urged the party to renew itself. And we know he's going to be chairing some cabinet committees: his office have just released the details, and there are nine in total.

1144 But perhaps Mr Prescott's purpose will be revealed today with the moment we've all been waiting for: his first appearance in the Commons chamber. We cross to Parliament, with Rob Orchard.

1146 Andrew's joined by Michael Brown, the former Tory MP who now writes for The Independent.

1151 Andrew suggests a solution to the hosepipe ban: leave your Daily Politics mug outside while it's raining. Of course, the only way to win one is to enter our Guess The Year quiz.

1153 Thousands of fans are looking forward to the big game today - and here at The Daily Politics, we're offering you pitch-side seats to the match of the day: Prime Minister's Questions. We're joined for a quick kick-around before the starting whistle by the BBC's Political Editor Nick Robinson and Ed The Bookie.

1200 We return to Rob in the Commons.

1231 Andrew and Jenny discuss PMQs with Nick and our guests, and look at your email reactions to the Commons debate.

1236 We see how our favourite bookie got on with today's hot topics.

1237 We put you out of your misery and give you the answer to Guess The Year.

1238 Two years ago, Otis Ferry dramatically invaded the House of Commons chamber to protest against the ban on fox hunting. He didn't stop the ban, but the pro-hunt lobby is still hoping to get the legislation repealed. This weekend, Otis's father Bryan will lead a line-up including Eric Clapton and Roger Waters at a rock concert to promote the cause. In slightly quieter surroundings, Otis tells The Daily Politics why he thinks the hunting ban is a dog's dinner.

1250 We return to Giles in Cambridge.

1255 Last night, Tony Blair pre-empted his own government's Energy Review by declaring himself a believer in a nuclear future. We're joined by the former Environment Minister Michael Meacher, who is very much a sceptic.
