Order! Order.

Hello, I'm Sean Curran, and this is today in Parliament from BBC Radio 4.

For Tuesday, the 11th of March, when, more than 24 hours on, after a cargo ship and tanker collided in the North Sea, a minister updated MPs on the rescue

and recovery efforts.

The M.V. Stenna was carrying 220,000 barrels of jet fuel, which was the source of the fire.

The Justice Secretary says she won't hesitate to change the law in the row over sentencing

Modelling suggests that should the Salong remain afloat, it will remain clear of land for the next few hours.
