Lord Freud is known for picking his words pretty badly. He's done it in the past... This is a classic example of someone thinking out loud, without a politician's mind that "this is something I shouldn't say".

That brings prime minister's questions to a close, and attention in the Commons turns to a ten-minute rule bill on mental health.

Labour's Meg Hillier asks what the government is doing to prevent a massacre by Islamic State militants in the besieged Syrian town of Kobane. David Cameron says the UK is involved in air strikes over Iraq, and adds that he thinks there is a case for Britain "to do more".

A question now from UKIP's first elected MP Douglas Carswell - who defected from the Conservatives. Cue murmurs in the chamber. He asks the PM if he will stand by his election "promises" in 2010 and support amendments to legislation to recall errant MPs. David Cameron insists he will look carefully at all amendments. He says: "I think we've come up with the minimum acceptable recall." He adds that there are "good arguments" to go further.

Labour's Barbara Keeley asks the PM if he agrees that Briton Alan Henning, who was murdered by Islamic State, should be recognised with a national honour and support for his widow and children. Mr Cameron promises to consider her suggestion, and describes Mr Henning as a "hero". His murder demonstrates the "dreadfulness" of Islamic State, he adds.

There seems to be a co-ordinated effort by Labour backbenchers to question the PM on the NHS - another one comes from Steve Reed.

Labour's Darlington MP Jenny Chapman follows previous Labour colleagues and asks a question on NHS reorganisation. She feels she needs to educate the PM that her constituency is in the north-east of England, which cheers some on the Labour benches. Mr Cameron defends his NHS reforms, and tells her there can only be a strong NHS with a strong economy.

Angie Bray, a Conservative MP, raises a question on inheritance tax, which she says far too many non-rich people are having to pay. David Cameron says taxes are a matter for the chancellor in his Budget - but adds that he wants to see a system where only the "very rich" pay.

Lib Dem David Ward makes reference to Monday's vote in the Commons in favour of recognising Palestine as a state. David Cameron says he "looks forward" to the day when Britain will recognise Palestinian statehood, but insists it should be "part of the negotiations that bring about a two-state solution".

Labour MP Graham Jones accuses David Cameron of broken promises over the NHS. Mr Cameron counters that Labour wanted to cut the NHS budget, and says his government is spending £12.7bn more on the health service.

Democratic Unionist Party MP Nigel Dodds raises concerns about the Ebola crisis. Mr Cameron says the government is working to keep the country safe, and notes the screening process that began at Heathrow Terminal 1 on Tuesday. The prime minister is to chair a meeting of Cobra tomorrow, MPs are told.
