  1. Economy rowpublished at 12:08 Greenwich Mean Time 21 January 2015

    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".

  2. Labour 'were too slow to set up Iraq Inquiry'published at 12:07 Greenwich Mean Time 21 January 2015

    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.

  3. Miliband raises Iraq Inquirypublished at 12:05 Greenwich Mean Time 21 January 2015

    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.

  5. Attacking Labourpublished at 12:05 Greenwich Mean Time 21 January 2015

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Shadow justice secretary Sadiq Khan says he is "shocked" to learn that the Iraq Inquiry report will not be published before the general election, and says he is "unclear" why it has taken so long to put together.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.

  15. Working togetherpublished at 11:49 Greenwich Mean Time 21 January 2015

    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.

  16. What's going to come up at PM's questions?published at 11:49 Greenwich Mean Time 21 January 2015

    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.

  19. Debate debate?published at 11:40 Greenwich Mean Time 21 January 2015

    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?
