Today in Parliament


Today in Parliament is a British radio programme that covers the daily proceedings of the Palace of Westminster (Houses of Parliament), on BBC Radio 4. When re-broadcast at around 8.30am the next day on longwave (198 LW), it is known as Yesterday in Parliament, similar to The Daily Service. This longwave (LW) signal comes from the Droitwich Transmitting Station.

It began on 9 October 1945 at 22.45. It is the only programme that the BBC is required to make under its charter.

In 1978 the public were allowed to hear MPs in parliament.

The broadcast begins with the Speaker announcing Order, order. It is available daily as a podcast.

It claims to have a regular audience of around 500,000 listeners.
