The fresh delay to the Iraq Inquiry not only dominated PMQs but is continuing to rumble on - Tony Blair has rejected "politically motivated" suggestions he was behind the latest hold-up to the report being published.

Reaction to PMQs
The Spectator
In the Spectator, James Forsyth calls it a victory for David Cameron, saying the PM "cantered home at PMQs today". Labour leader Ed Miliband seemed "oddly listless", he observes, whereas Mr Cameron, by contrast, "seemed to be enjoying himself".
What the papers made of PMQs
The Mirror
"This was a pointless session of a zombie Parliament running out of things to do or say," says Nigel Nelson in The Mirror online, as he criticises five-year fixed-term parliaments. The leaders' exchanges can be summed up as "blah blah blah", he writes, branding the event "a bit of a waste of everyone's time".
New Statesman's PMQs verdict
In the New Statesman, George Eaton feels Labour has "reasons to be gloomy" after this week's head-to-head, declaring it an "easy win" for David Cameron. "Aided by positive employment and wage figures, praise from Barack Obama and Labour's splits over the mansion tax, David Cameron got the better of him at every turn," he writes.

In an exclusive interview with BBC political editor Nick Robinson, Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said SNP MPs will vote on the English NHS after the next election, arguing that this is necessary to protect the Scottish NHS from knock-on effects of cuts and privatisation in England.

Speaker's turn
That brings an end to this week's prime minister's questions. The Speaker of the House of Commons rises to his feet to deliver a statement to MPs.
Defence spending
The DUP's Nigel Dodds asks the PM to commit a future Conservative government to ensuring defence spending does not fall below 2% of GDP. David Cameron responds by saying the UK is one of the few Nato countries that already meets the 2% target.
Dog thefts
Philip Davies, the Conservative MP for Shipley, raises concerns about "a spate of dog thefts" across Bradford. He asks the PM to draw attention to the problem and make sure the authorities take the crime seriously. David Cameron says we are a nation of dog lovers and it is appalling when pets are stolen. He says changes such as compulsory micro-chipping should help.
Milk prices
Conservative MP Glyn Davies sounds a warning about the impact of low milk prices on the dairy industry. David Cameron stresses the importance of the industry to the UK, and says more can be done to support dairy farmers.

Army cuts?
The Conservatives' Sir Gerald Howarth, Aldershot MP, seeks reassurances that reports the government is considering reducing the size of the regular army from 82,000 to 60,000 are "wholly unfounded". David Cameron provides him that reassurance - insisting the ideas are not on the table and never will be as long as he is prime minister. Former Armed Forces minister Sir Nick Harvey - a Lib Dem - made the claim during a debate on Trident yesterday.

Sir Menzies on inquiry lessons
Former Lib Dem leader Sir Menzies Campbell - whose party voted against the 2003 Iraq War - says he is aware of "no evidence" that any witness has sought to alter the progress of the official inquiry by delaying it. But he is aware of reports of instances of illness among members of the inquiry, he tells MPs. Sir Menzies says the lessons to be learned from this is that future inquiries should be "judge-led with a strict timetable". Mr Cameron says he makes "a very strong point".

Mental health
A question from Conservative MP Dame Angela Watkinson on mental health, prompts David Cameron to say he is glad that it is getting a much higher profile than it has in the past. He says a key challenge is ensuring people with mental health problems get into work.
Diane Abbott
Labour MP Diane Abbott gets a big cheers from the Tory benches as she stands to ask her question, which is on the Iraq Inquiry. She says it is important to find out the reason for the delay - warning about the potential impact on public confidence. David Cameron says there is "no mystery" around why it's taking so long - explaining that proper processes have to be followed, as people criticised in the report have the right to respond.

It's the NHS again. Labour MP Toby Perkins claims GP recruitment numbers have been adversely affected by the government's reorganisation and handling of the NHS. David Cameron says there are 1,000 more GPs working in the NHS than in 2010 - and criticised Labour's record on the NHS.

Ambulance strike
David Cameron is fielding another question on the NHS - on ambulance waiting times. He says it would be "completely wrong" for a planned ambulance strike to go ahead next week. He "utterly condemns" it and hopes the Labour Party will do the same.
The three other leaders taking part have written to Mr Cameron saying it would be "unacceptable" for the prime minister to refuse to appear, saying an empty podium should be provided in his absence.
Another question on the Iraq Inquiry report - this time from Conservative MP Sir Richard Ottaway, whose committee will be questioning inquiry chairman Sir John Chilcot to explain the delay. Mr Cameron says that is a matter for the committee, and adds that the priority now is to ensure the report is published as soon as possible.
Cancer referrals
Labour MP Andrew Gwynne goes on the attack over the NHS, and says the government is failing to meet targets on cancer referrals. Mr Cameron responds by saying 96.8% of patients with suspected cancer are seen by a specialist in two weeks in Mr Gwynne's Denton and Reddish constituency - which he says is an improvement on 2010.

Magna Carta
In response to a question from Conservative MP Jessica Lee, Mr Cameron says it is very important for the country and Parliament to commemorate the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta.
'Decent jobs'
Labour MP Mary Glindon, North Tyneside MP, accuses the PM of failing to create decent jobs for people - and says it is a fundamental problem with the economy. Mr Cameron contends that eight out of 10 jobs created in the last year were full-time - but adds that he is not complacent. He says the evidence is against Labour on this one.

UKIP question
UKIP's Mark Reckless struggles to make himself heard among pantomime groans as he challenges the PM over his stance on the TV leaders' debates. David Cameron responds with an attack on UKIP's policy on the NHS - claiming the party wants to privatise it.
Tapsell
Conservative MP Sir Peter Tapsell uses his question to reference the Crimean War as he raises the subject of the Iraq Inquiry. Mr Cameron says publication is up to the inquiry team - and it is not for the prime minister to interfere. He reiterates that the report would be out by now if Labour had launched the inquiry when the Conservatives first asked for it.
The leaders' last word
But Mr Cameron always has the last say in these exchanges, and quotes the head of the IMF as praising the performance of the UK economy."Every day this country is getting strong and more secure," he adds.
TV debates
David Cameron says Mr Miliband would make a "shambles" of running the economy but Mr Miliband says if he is so confident he shouldn't be "chickening out" of the TV leaders' debates. Working families can't afford another five years of this government, he adds.
Chilcot inquiry
Yesterday it was revealed that the official inquiry into the 2003 Iraq War will not report until after the general election.
Inquiry chairman Sir John Chilcot said he could see "no realistic prospect" of publication before the 7 May election.
Although the inquiry has never publicly set a deadline for publication, it has been plagued by delays with lengthy wrangling over what documents can be included in the final report.
The inquiry began its work in 2009 and held its last public hearing in 2011.
It has been looking into the the UK's involvement in the 2003 US-led invasion which toppled Saddam Hussein and the aftermath of the conflict, which saw UK troops remain in Iraq until 2009.
Deficit exchanges
Ed Miliband responds by accusing the prime minister of failing on the deficit. Back to pay, he says executive earnings have gone up 21% in the last year alone and claims the recovery is only for a few at the top and not the many. Mr Cameron responds by saying that Ed Miliband couldn't even remember the deficit in a keynote speech he made on the economy.
Jobs and pay
Ed Miliband continues his attack on the economy, and claims many working families cannot afford to pay their bills each month. Mr Cameron says more than 30 million people are in work as a result of the government's policies, and adds that their pay is rising by 4%. None of these things would have happened if Labour had been in power, he claims.
Economy row
Ed Miliband notes the PM made no mention of the economy in his reply, and says people are £1,600 a year worse off since 2010. David Cameron says Labour has no apology for not launching the Iraq Inquiry earlier - before launching into a defence of the coalition's economic record. He says Mr Miliband is wrong about everything".
Labour 'were too slow to set up Iraq Inquiry'
David Cameron says he too wants to see the Iraq Inquiry published as soon as possible - but says it would have been ready years ago if the previous Labour government had set the inquiry up sooner, as the Conservatives and others had wanted.
Miliband raises Iraq Inquiry
Ed Miliband is on his feet - and says Labour wants the Iraq Inqury to be published as soon as possible. He then changes subject, to the economy - and says this is the first government to leave office with living standards lower than when they entered into power.

Attacking Labour
Tory MP Robert Jenrick uses his question to take a pop at Labour over the party's "economic illiteracy", with an early reference to singer James Blunt (who was embroiled in a row with Labour's Chris Bryant earlier this week). David Cameron says Labour's energy price freeze pledge would have prevented the price cuts that have been implemented by some energy suppliers.

Siobhain McDonagh, the Labour MP for Mitcham and Morden, has the first question to the prime minister - which she uses to criticise "insecure six-month" tenancies. David Cameron says the government has been encouraging longer-term tenancies in the private rented sector.
The BBC's deputy political editor James Landale says Labour leader Ed Miliband might use the latest figures on youth unemployment - which have gone up - as an opportunity to go on the "front foot on the economy" at today's PMQs.

Without the change many Welsh suppliers may not last through 2015, he warns.
Inquiry delay
Daily Politics
Live on BBC Two
Environment minister George Eustice adds that the delay is "frustrating" and says the sooner it can be published the better - but he stresses that the inquiry is independent and publication is a decision for chairman Sir John Chilcot.
Iraq war 'conspiracy theories'
Daily Politics
Live on BBC Two
Shadow justice secretary Sadiq Khan says he is "shocked" to learn that the Iraq Inquiry report will not be published before the general election, and says he is "unclear" why it has taken so long to put together. He is concerned the delay will fuel "conspiracy theories" of a cover up - and delay lessons from the war being learned.
Working together
House of Commons
Parliament
In Wales questions Conservative MP Glyn Davies offers a potential solution to a political hot topic - ensuring the UK and Welsh government's work together to help ease pressure on A&E services in the beleaguered Welsh NHS.
Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb says its right to work together, but the Welsh government must be held to account for their role in the problems.
What's going to come up at PM's questions?
Might Mr Miliband seek to exploit the row between the Conservatives and the Lib Dems on the so-called snoopers' charter? The coalition partners disagree over the need for new surveillance powers for British security services in the fight against terrorism. The Lib Dems blocked the Data Communications Bill in 2012 - but Mr Cameron has raised the possibility of reviving the plans if the Conservatives are in a majority government after the election.

Conservative Minister George Eustice provides a defence of the government's record on job creation, and says "it is better to have people in work than not in work".

On BBC2's Daily Politics programme, shadow justice secretary Sadiq Khan welcomes the latest unemployment figures, but criticises the "quality" of the jobs being created. He says the number of people in part-time jobs who want to be in full-time employment is on the rise.
Debate debate?
Last week's PM's questions also saw the two leaders' clash over the proposed TV election debates, after David Cameron said he would not take part unless the Green Party was included. Mr Cameron and Mr Miliband both accused each other of "running scared" from the debates. Could we see the Labour leader return to the subject today?

Wales questions

Ahead of PM's questions its Wales questions in the House of Commons. Conservative MP Karl McCartney has the first question in the House of Commons, asking for an assessment of the Welsh economy since 2010.
Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb says the Wales became poorer under the pervious Labour government due to a "dangerously unbalanced economy". But this government is "determined to turn that around with a more geographically balanced economy", he adds.
NHS?
Having dominated recent PMQs, the NHS could feature again today, after a report by the Commons Health Committee said NHS whistleblowers need better protection. The main day's business in the Commons is a Labour-led debate on the NHS. Labour is keen to put the NHS at the heart of its election campaign, but David Cameron has criticised Ed Miliband for allegedly saying he wanted to "weaponise" the health service.
Jobs, jobs, jobs
Today's UK unemployment figures - which indicate the number of jobless fell to its lowest level for more than six years in the three months to November - are likely to be cited by David Cameron as evidence that the government's economic plan is working. Expect Labour to say the economic recovery is not working for everyone.
Iraq Inquiry
It's a busy day in Westminster as politicians react to the news that the official report into the 2003 Iraq war will not be published before the general election on 7 May. It's highly likely the issue will be raised at PMQs. Expect MPs to express their anger at the report's delay.

Former Armed Forces minister Sir Nick Harvey - a Lib Dem - made the claim during a debate on Trident yesterday.

Sir Menzies on inquiry lessons
Former Lib Dem leader Sir Menzies Campbell - whose party voted against the 2003 Iraq War - says he is aware of "no evidence" that any witness has sought to alter the progress of the official inquiry by delaying it. But he is aware of reports of instances of illness among members of the inquiry, he tells MPs. Sir Menzies says the lessons to be learned from this is that future inquiries should be "judge-led with a strict timetable". Mr Cameron says he makes "a very strong point".

Mental health
A question from Conservative MP Dame Angela Watkinson on mental health, prompts David Cameron to say he is glad that it is getting a much higher profile than it has in the past. He says a key challenge is ensuring people with mental health problems get into work.
Diane Abbott
Labour MP Diane Abbott gets a big cheers from the Tory benches as she stands to ask her question, which is on the Iraq Inquiry. She says it is important to find out the reason for the delay - warning about the potential impact on public confidence. David Cameron says there is "no mystery" around why it's taking so long - explaining that proper processes have to be followed, as people criticised in the report have the right to respond.

NHS
It's the NHS again. Labour MP Toby Perkins claims GP recruitment numbers have been adversely affected by the government's reorganisation and handling of the NHS. David Cameron says there are 1,000 more GPs working in the NHS than in 2010 - and criticised Labour's record on the NHS.

Ambulance strike
David Cameron is fielding another question on the NHS - on ambulance waiting times. He says it would be "completely wrong" for a planned ambulance strike to go ahead next week. He "utterly condemns" it and hopes the Labour Party will do the same.
Briefing: Leadership debates controversy
David Cameron announced he would not be taking part in the planned televised election leadership debates unless the Green Party was included. Ofcom ruled that the Green Party were not a "major party".
The three other leaders taking part have written to Mr Cameron saying it would be "unacceptable" for the prime minister to refuse to appear, saying an empty podium should be provided in his absence.
David Cameron and Ed Miliband accused each other of "running scared" over election TV debates, as they clashed at last week's Prime Minister's Questions.

Iraq Inquiry
Another question on the Iraq Inquiry report - this time from Conservative MP Sir Richard Ottaway, whose committee will be questioning inquiry chairman Sir John Chilcot to explain the delay. Mr Cameron says that is a matter for the committee, and adds that the priority now is to ensure the report is published as soon as possible.
Cancer referrals
Labour MP Andrew Gwynne goes on the attack over the NHS, and says the government is failing to meet targets on cancer referrals. Mr Cameron responds by saying 96.8% of patients with suspected cancer are seen by a specialist in two weeks in Mr Gwynne's Denton and Reddish constituency - which he says is an improvement on 2010.

Magna Carta
In response to a question from Conservative MP Jessica Lee, Mr Cameron says it is very important for the country and Parliament to commemorate the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta.
'Decent jobs'
Labour MP Mary Glindon, North Tyneside MP, accuses the PM of failing to create decent jobs for people - and says it is a fundamental problem with the economy. Mr Cameron contends that eight out of 10 jobs created in the last year were full-time - but adds that he is not complacent. He says the evidence is against Labour on this one.

UKIP question
UKIP's Mark Reckless struggles to make himself heard among pantomime groans as he challenges the PM over his stance on the TV leaders' debates. David Cameron responds with an attack on UKIP's policy on the NHS - claiming the party wants to privatise it.
Tapsell
Conservative MP Sir Peter Tapsell uses his question to reference the Crimean War as he raises the subject of the Iraq Inquiry. Mr Cameron says publication is up to the inquiry team - and it is not for the prime minister to interfere. He reiterates that the report would be out by now if Labour had launched the inquiry when the Conservatives first asked for it.
The leaders' last word
But Mr Cameron always has the last say in these exchanges, and quotes the head of the IMF as praising the performance of the UK economy."Every day this country is getting strong and more secure," he adds.
TV debates
David Cameron says Mr Miliband would make a "shambles" of running the economy but Mr Miliband says if he is so confident he shouldn't be "chickening out" of the TV leaders' debates. Working families can't afford another five years of this government, he adds.
Chilcot inquiry
Yesterday it was revealed that the official inquiry into the 2003 Iraq War will not report until after the general election.
Inquiry chairman Sir John Chilcot said he could see "no realistic prospect" of publication before the 7 May election.
Although the inquiry has never publicly set a deadline for publication, it has been plagued by delays with lengthy wrangling over what documents can be included in the final report.
The inquiry began its work in 2009 and held its last public hearing in 2011.
It has been looking into the the UK's involvement in the 2003 US-led invasion which toppled Saddam Hussein and the aftermath of the conflict, which saw UK troops remain in Iraq until 2009.
Deficit exchanges
Ed Miliband responds by accusing the prime minister of failing on the deficit. Back to pay, he says executive earnings have gone up 21% in the last year alone and claims the recovery is only for a few at the top and not the many. Mr Cameron responds by saying that Ed Miliband couldn't even remember the deficit in a keynote speech he made on the economy.
Jobs and pay
Ed Miliband continues his attack on the economy, and claims many working families cannot afford to pay their bills each month. Mr Cameron says more than 30 million people are in work as a result of the government's policies, and adds that their pay is rising by 4%. None of these things would have happened if Labour had been in power, he claims.
Economy row
Ed Miliband notes the PM made no mention of the economy in his reply, and says people are £1,600 a year worse off since 2010. David Cameron says Labour has no apology for not launching the Iraq Inquiry earlier - before launching into a defence of the coalition's economic record. He says Mr Miliband is wrong about everything".
Labour 'were too slow to set up Iraq Inquiry'
David Cameron says he too wants to see the Iraq Inquiry published as soon as possible - but says it would have been ready years ago if the previous Labour government had set the inquiry up sooner, as the Conservatives and others had wanted.
Miliband raises Iraq Inquiry
Ed Miliband is on his feet - and says Labour wants the Iraq Inqury to be published as soon as possible. He then changes subject, to the economy - and says this is the first government to leave office with living standards lower than when they entered into power.

Attacking Labour
Tory MP Robert Jenrick uses his question to take a pop at Labour over the party's "economic illiteracy", with an early reference to singer James Blunt (who was embroiled in a row with Labour's Chris Bryant earlier this week). David Cameron says Labour's energy price freeze pledge would have prevented the price cuts that have been implemented by some energy suppliers.

We're off
Siobhain McDonagh, the Labour MP for Mitcham and Morden, has the first question to the prime minister - which she uses to criticise "insecure six-month" tenancies. David Cameron says the government has been encouraging longer-term tenancies in the private rented sector.
What's coming up?
James Landale
Deputy Political Editor, BBC News
The BBC's deputy political editor James Landale says Labour leader Ed Miliband might use the latest figures on youth unemployment - which have gone up - as an opportunity to go on the "front foot on the economy" at today's PMQs.

Liberal Democrat MP Mark Williams urges the government to extend to remit of the Groceries Code Adjudicator - which is in charge of ensuring large supermarkets treat their suppliers fairly - to be extended to include troubled dairy farmers.
Without the change many Welsh suppliers may not last through 2015, he warns.
Inquiry delay

Environment minister George Eustice adds that the delay is "frustrating" and says the sooner it can be published the better - but he stresses that the inquiry is independent and publication is a decision for chairman Sir John Chilcot.
Iraq war 'conspiracy theories'
Daily Politics
Live on BBC Two
Shadow justice secretary Sadiq Khan says he is "shocked" to learn that the Iraq Inquiry report will not be published before the general election, and says he is "unclear" why it has taken so long to put together. He is concerned the delay will fuel "conspiracy theories" of a cover up - and delay lessons from the war being learned.
Working together
House of Commons
Parliament
In Wales questions Conservative MP Glyn Davies offers a potential solution to a political hot topic - ensuring the UK and Welsh government's work together to help ease pressure on A&E services in the beleaguered Welsh NHS.
Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb says its right to work together, but the Welsh government must be held to account for their role in the problems.
What's going to come up at PM's questions?
Might Mr Miliband seek to exploit the row between the Conservatives and the Lib Dems on the so-called snoopers' charter? The coalition partners disagree over the need for new surveillance powers for British security services in the fight against terrorism. The Lib Dems blocked the Data Communications Bill in 2012 - but Mr Cameron has raised the possibility of reviving the plans if the Conservatives are in a majority government after the election.

Debate debate?
Last week's PM's questions also saw the two leaders' clash over the proposed TV election debates, after David Cameron said he would not take part unless the Green Party was included. Mr Cameron and Mr Miliband both accused each other of "running scared" from the debates. Could we see the Labour leader return to the subject today?

Wales questions
House of Commons
Parliament
Ahead of PM's questions its Wales questions in the House of Commons. Conservative MP Karl McCartney has the first question in the House of Commons, asking for an assessment of the Welsh economy since 2010.
Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb says the Wales became poorer under the pervious Labour government due to a "dangerously unbalanced economy". But this government is "determined to turn that around with a more geographically balanced economy", he adds.
NHS?
Having dominated recent PMQs, the NHS could feature again today, after a report by the Commons Health Committee said NHS whistleblowers need better protection. The main day's business in the Commons is a Labour-led debate on the NHS. Labour is keen to put the NHS at the heart of its election campaign, but David Cameron has criticised Ed Miliband for allegedly saying he wanted to "weaponise" the health service.
Jobs, jobs, jobs
Today's UK unemployment figures - which indicate the number of jobless fell to its lowest level for more than six years in the three months to November - are likely to be cited by David Cameron as evidence that the government's economic plan is working. Expect Labour to say the economic recovery is not working for everyone.
Iraq Inquiry
It's a busy day in Westminster as politicians react to the news that the official report into the 2003 Iraq war will not be published before the general election on 7 May. It's highly likely the issue will be raised at PMQs. Expect MPs to express their anger at the report's delay.
