The UK House of Commons debate on open access is being webcast live right now. At the menu, specify "Westminster Hall" and "watch now". The debate will continue until 5:30 pm London time. (Thanks to Richard Poynder.) Afterwards, the webcast should be available in the archive.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
