Speaking about his dealings with other important figures in government, David Cameron pays tribute to his relationship with Chancellor George Osborne - pointing out strong co-operation between prime minister and chancellor has been rare in recent British history. The prime minister also praises his relationship with the Cabinet Office, saying it has helped government run effectively.

David Cameron tells the committee it is important to have a plan in government and follow it through. He uses the example of education, saying their plan "was very effectively followed through". He says the plan for welfare has also been acted upon.

David Cameron is now being questioned about domestic policy. He says the government has delivered some "very big projects", but admits there are some areas where lessons need to be learned.

On migration, he says the biggest lesson has been that government needs to act "more rapidly on the financial draw to Britain". He suggests Britain has been very attractive because of the benefits system.

Speaking about the three London girls who it is feared have gone to Syria to join IS militants, David Cameron says a number of people have a role to play in combating radicalisation - including social media sites, who he says need to do more.

On Yemen, David Cameron says Saudi Arabia will be important in helping provide stability in the country. The prime minister says it is another example of the need for inclusive government - something the last president did not provide, he adds.

Discussing countries where Islamic extremism is a problem, David Cameron says there must be the correct "building blocks of democracy", and not simply elections. The former are "absolutely vital", the prime minister adds.

Discussing Libya, David Cameron says the situation in the country is "extremely difficult". He tells the committee there are no shortcuts either. He says the UK responded to a potential genocide and gave Libya a chance of a better future by intervening. So far, they have not taken that chance, he adds.

Moving on to the UK's strategy on Iraq, the prime minister tells the committee it consists of supporting the Iraqi government, training their security forces and launching air strikes above the skies of Iraq "on a daily basis".

Moving on to Syria, David Cameron says Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has been a great recruiting sergeant for ISIL (Islamic State). He says there is no solution to the problems in the country that involves President Assad staying in power. The vast majority there want a "decent, inclusive" government, the prime minister adds. That will take a long-time, but there are no shortcuts, he tells the committee.

David Cameron is asked if Britain can stop Russian aggression without a military show of strength. He says the "upping of the ante" is important - "the biggest effect we can have is an economic effect", the prime minister tells the committee. "It's that we should be leveraging", Mr Cameron concludes.

David Cameron is being asked about British influence in Europe after the prime minister was left out of talks on Ukraine, which did feature German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande, as well as Russian President Vladimir Putin. Mr Cameron says we shouldn't be "too precious" and says Britain has a "very clear role", listing what the government has done on the issue.

Asked about a peacekeeping mission in Ukraine, David Cameron says there could be problems with that. Russia is a member of the UN Security Council, he says, and questions whether there is currently a peace to keep. Mr Cameron wants further talks first.

David Cameron says again that major further Russian incursion into Ukraine could lead to new sanctions against Russia, including "Tier 3" sanctions to hit the Russian economy.

On arming Ukraine with "lethal equipment", David Cameron says Britain is not at that point just now. He says British personnel will help with training and logistics, but "well away from the area of conflict". He says he doesn't rule out going further in the future, but "non-lethal support" is what will be offered just now.

President Putin "absolutely knows" that Nato would protect any of its members if they were attacked, David Cameron says. That would include a cyber-attack, the prime minister adds. He says there has been a clear pattern of behaviour from Russia, adding that "these countries are democracies" who should be allowed to choose on their future.

The prime minister also tells the committee Britain is capable of protecting its airspace. His comments come after RAF jets were scrambled when Russian bombers were seen off the coast of Cornwall last week.

David Cameron says the Russians are probably trying to make some sort of point - but he isn't sure what that point is. And he says Britain should be confident of its strengths over Russia.

"We are committed to their collective defence," Mr Cameron says of the Baltic states. He does not, however, say what a red line would be in terms of interference in those countries.

"I don't think Russia is behaving like a strategic partner to Europe," Mr Cameron tells the committee. But we should continue to work with Russia on some issues, such as stopping Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon, the prime minister adds.
