In the debating chamber is the Budget Debate which can take up to 15 hours (thankfully spread over a few days) while outside the chamber Ministers are turning up to select committees to answer questions on whether or not they made the right decisions with public money.

Hear some of his interactions with MPs on the committee in the audio below.
