The government's committed £860m of cash to the National Cyber Security programme, Cabinet Office Minister Francis Maude tells the Commons. It's all part of a bid to "ensure Britain remains one of the safest places in the world to do business online". But shadow Chi Onwurah is only half-impressed. She says the government is only helping big businesses, "leaving consumers to fend for themselves".

"You're not answering the question", "rubbish" and "answer the question" - these were some of the heckles faced by David Cameron at the AgeUK conference earlier. "Out of all the PM Directs, schools and factory visits," Telegraph correspondent Matthew Holehouse tweets, external, "never seen Cam jeered, booed, heckled like at Age UK". After taking questions from the media, Mr Cameron thanked the delegates for their "lively questions and the lively interactions". But Labour has already commented on Cameron's reception. Shadow health minister Jamie Reed says: "David Cameron cannot shake off his betrayal of the NHS and older people's care services."

Here's a few of the contributions from backbench MPs on the Falkland Islands:

• Labour's Barry Sheerman says he hopes the "whiff of gunpowder and sabre rattling we heard this morning" doesn't preclude taking part in discussion at the "senior diplomatic level".

• Conservative Alec Shelbrooke says the actions of Argentina and Russia show "that we must maintain Trident as a deterrent."

• Conservative defence expert Dr Julian Lewis asks for a commitment that 2% of GDP will be spent on defence throughout the lifetime of the next parliament. Russia and Argentina react to the "signal we send to them", he argues.

The Commons is now moving on to another statement - this one on cybersecurity from Francis Maude.

Conservative MP Brian Binley, who is standing down at the next election, says he was "a little surprised" by David Cameron's comments. It wasn't a "scripted, planned announcement as such" in his view. "The prime minister has a perfect right, being a young man with a young family - I can understand why 20 years in politics would be long enough for anybody." Mr Binley says the story "could create a bit of a diversion" over the coming weeks. He wonders whether Mr Cameron is right to pick out Theresa May, George Osborne and Boris Johnson as his potential successors. "It's made it perhaps slightly more difficult for the three people named - and who knows whether those three people are going to be in the frame in three-and-a-half years' time."

Mike Smithson of politicalbetting.com says people gambling on who becomes the next Conservative leader will get a lot of pleasure from picking out who's going to win the leadership battle started by David Cameron's comments. "Once you've opened Pandora's Box and suggest there's a possibility of a contest in the not-too-distant future, people start thinking about it," he says. Boris Johnson is the favourite on 5/2 with Theresa May on 9/2. Then come George Osborne, Philip Hammond and Sajid Javid - even though the latter two weren't mentioned by the PM. "The bookies don't take their lead totally from the prime minister on these matters," Mr Smithson notes.

Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers tells The World At One she's already apologised for the "hurt caused to victims" by the On the Runs letters condemned by MPs today. It was never an amnesty scheme, she says. The Northern Ireland committee has complained of question-marks over the legality of the government's actions. "I provided clarity in September when I announced to the Commons the scheme was at an end," she says.

Some news just in from Folkestone and Hythe, where ex-UKIP candidate Janice Atkinson was expelled from the party earlier. Her replacement has been confirmed as Labour's former National Executive Committee chair Harriet Yeo.

Shadow defence secretary Vernon Coaker voices his support to the government over defending the Falklands: "The government is right in its vow to remain vigilant in the protection of Falkland Islanders at all times," he says. But he suggests defence of the islands should be kept permanently under review, especially given "the role of Russia in the region".

Here's some details of the ComRes polling of 56 Green councillors discussed on the Daily Politics just now. The top findings are:

• No Green councillors would join a Conservative-led coalition in the event of a hung parliament

• All Green Party councillors believe the top level of income tax should be over 45%

• 96% of Green councillors do not want Trident renewed

Around 1,200 military and civilian personnel will continue to defend the Falklands, Michael Fallon tells MPs.

• Two Chinooks are to be deployed to the Falklands, he says, in order to provide more tactical flexibility to the UK's defensive forces there.

• The Royal Navy will continue to maintain a patrol vessel in the archipelago

• Mr Fallon announces £180m of infrastructure spending in the Falklands over the next ten years

Defence Secretary Michael Fallon is on his feet making his statement about the Falkland Islands. "We will always defend the right of the Falkland Islanders to determine their own political future," he tells MPs. The review he's updating the Commons about today was triggered in December 2013. Not that he can actually say what it found, of course, because of "operational sensitivities". But Mr Fallon can say the development of an oil and gas industry has been a factor.

In the Commons farming minister George Eustice has been taking questions about the Rural Payments Agency, which has struggled to implement its digital service for farmers. Maria Eagle tells MPs that the government has been "insisting that everything will work" as recently as 12 March, only to admit today that they are behind. Responding to Ms Eagle, George Eustice says while he cannot guarantee the payments - made up of funding under the EU's Common Agricultural Policy - will be made in the "payment window" he is "confident we will have a system in place to deal with them".

Ahead of Defence Secretary Michael Fallon's Falklands statement, which is coming up shortly, the Daily Politics samples the views of the Greens' Andrew Cooper and UKIP's Peter Reeve on the role of the military. "The bigger issue in defence is what the Greens would do to decimate our Army, which is even worse than the terrible things that Labour and the Conservatives are proposing," Mr Reeve says. Mr Cooper says the Army should be more about peacekeeping and humanitarian aid. "These are the sorts of things that will give our country more security, not less," he insists. "We need to be using our armed forces intelligently."

Jeffrey Donaldson of the Democratic Unionist Party - currently the fourth largest party in the Commons - has been explaining the DUP's approach in the event of a hung parliament. "What we will seek to do is support whoever is going to deliver the strongest government for the United Kingdom… we're not in the business of bringing about instability, we've had enough of that." He says there's an opportunity to "maximise Northern Ireland's influence", though - suggesting there may be strings attached to his party's support.

Brian May, the Queen guitarist and campaigner, is explaining why he's offering funding to candidates from more than one party. His Common Decency campaign is encouraging "colour-blind politics" that focuses more on the individual than the political party they're backing. "I would rather have my relationship with good people in all the parties," he says. "We know some great people and we're endorsing MPs in all the big parties and some of the minor parties as well."

Here's a bit more about what the prime minister had to say about his third-term announcement: "I'm going to fight with everything I've got to win that election because we've got a long term economic plan that's working, we're putting the country back to work, we've turned the economy around, we're providing the dignity and security that elderly people deserve in old age and that's the fight I'm going to have. But I think giving a straight answer to a straight question about the future is actually a sensible thing to do. And I think most people will understand that rather than want to play an endless game of political processes five years hence."

Brian May launched his "common decency" campaign this morning and is on the Daily Politics explaining his views. Five years ago, he says, he was fed up by the fact that in many "safe seats" there aren't really meaningful contests. But he's changed his mind now and deploys a pie chart to explain his point: that if everyone who didn't vote backed the second- or third-placed candidate, they'd win outright. "I'm politically colour blind," he says.
