Order! Order!

Hello, I'm Sean Curran, and this is today in Parliament from BBC Radio 4 for Thursday the 19th of June, when the government set out its 10-year infrastructure strategy worth £725 billion.

Our schools and hospitals and GP surgeries fit for the future to deliver for generations to come

and a country that will be stronger and more resilient.

A minister says the government won't publish any legal advice it's had

about getting involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran.

We don't comment on what advice the Attorney General has provided or indeed whether he has

provided any advice at all.

And peers condemn the damage caused by some fishing practices.

Wrecking fragile seabed ecosystems, releasing carbon and dumping tens of thousands of

tons of discarded fish of the wrong sort. But first, just over a week ago, the Chancellor delivered

her spending review to a packed House of Commons. Alongside plans for day-to-day government spending,

Rachel Reeves promised to renew Britain and spend more

on infrastructure, such as railways, roads, schools and hospitals. In the wake of that announcement,

the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Darren Jones, came to a quieter Commons Chamber to unveil a

10-year infrastructure strategy worth £725 billion.

He told MPs infrastructure was key to unlocking growth across the country.

Our roads, railways, airports and digital infrastructure connect people to businesses,

public services and one another. Our energy, water and housing infrastructure create and support communities.

And our schools, hospitals, prisons and social infrastructure provide high-quality public services

and help to keep us safe.
