What's happening in Parliament this week? 
It's another week of finalising legislation, with bills bouncing between the Lords and Commons, and others grinding through the final detailed debates, with the deadline for the end of the current parliamentary session looming in November.
Any bills not passed when the music stops will fall (except for a limited number where a "carry-over" has been agreed) so the opposition has a bit more clout than usual over the details, to be exercised in behind the scenes talks with ministers.
There's also an extra helping of party-battling. With three by-elections under way (in Rutherglen, Mid Bedfordshire and Tamworth) expect a renewed level of interest in local issues in those areas from MPs on all sides.
And there will be more visible campaigning elsewhere, with three select committee chairs (Standards, Business and Trade, and Petitions) up for grabs.
The Business Committee contest (where the chair has to be a Labour MP) looks lively with acting chair Andy McDonald, and former ministers Angela Eagle and Liam Byrne in the running and other hats may be thrown into the ring.
All MPs have a vote in these elections. The elections to the Business and Petitions chairs will take place on Wednesday October 18th, with nominations closing the day before.
Meanwhile, the likelihood of a further election, for the chair of the Defence Committee, seems to be fading.
Later today is Defence questions Defence Questions - a debut for new Secretary of State Grant Shapps, who may then stay on for the main debate - a general debate on Ukraine (although any government statements or urgent questions may provide him with a break, since they normally follow Question Time).
