MPs are back in the House today and it's a busy one with Prime Minister John Key kicking things off with his ministerial statement about troop deployment to Iraq.



Party leaders will have an opportunity to debate the statement, meaning it could take about two hours to cover it all off.



Following Question Time the House will consider Government business. Debate this week is expected to look at the Objectionable Publications and Indecency Legislation Bill, Drug and Alcohol Testing of Community-based Offenders and Bailees Legislation Bill and the Statutes Amendment Bill (No 4).
