The government's promising to keep up spending on flood defences on the Humber. 

The Conservative MP for Cleethorpes, Martin Vickers, raised the issue in the Commons recalling major flooding in the area three years ago.

He told MPs about the tidal surge in December 2013 and asked for reassurance that money would still be spent on the region's flood defences.

Environment Minister and Suffolk Coastal MP, Therese Coffey told him he didn't have to worry. 

She said the schemes that have already been planned will go ahead. 

The Hull North MP Diana Johnson says ministers need to look again at plans for a new support scheme for the victims of the NHS contaminated blood scandal. 

Health service failings in the 1970s and 1980s saw hundreds of people infected with hepatitis C and HIV. 

The government set out plans earlier this year for a reformed system of support. 

Ms Johnson raised the case of Hull resident Glen Wilkinson in the Commons earlier.

Looking for life's "sunshine and rainbows" after the death of his wife at the age of 30 has proved a harrowing time for Jamie Curtis-Barrett.

But his wife Leanne's battle against breast cancer and her approach to finding out that the disease had returned  - and was terminal  - gave him the strength to cope.

It has defined his new life as a single parent of two young children and continues to give him the inspiration to chase his snooker dreams.

"She is what gets me through everything," the 32-year-old told BBC Sport, prior to his debut appearance tonight at this week's UK Championships in York.
