Labour's Chi Onwura says British productivity has "plummeted" on David Cameron's watch. But she says the north-east has bucked the trend, and says he should "give us the powers we need". The PM acknowledges the "huge challenge" of trying to raise productivity in his response.

David Cameron says two million more people are working since the 2010 election. The most recent figures from the Office for National Statistics , externalsuggest that there were around 31.1 millionemployed people in Britain. At the time of the 2010 election there were around 29 million people in work. So the prime minister’s figure is correct.

Raising a question on the EU referendum, UKIP MP Douglas Carswell accuses the PM of watering down his ambitions in his reform negotiations. David Cameron responds by listing what it is he's trying to achieve, including "a better balance" between those in the euro and out of it. They're all very important, he adds, before joking about Mr Carswell's ability to have a backbench rebellion in a party of one.

Decent day for Harriet Harman. No small achievement given her party is down in the dumps.

She succesfully chided the PM for gloating and ranting at her. A reminder of Mr Cameron's "calm down dear" moment and his bad old Flashman days which the PM's advisers had hoped they'd got him to drop.

She also managed to get a significant answer out of Mr Cameron, which is no easy task, as the PM announced there would be a Commons vote on whether 16 and 17-year-olds should be allowed to take part in EU referendum.

The result could be close as Labour and the SNP line up together - along with some Tory rebels.

Labour MP Mary Glindon asks the PM to make time to see six boys with muscular dystrophy who are to head to Downing Street later to campaign for a specific drug to be made available on the NHS.

David Cameron says he "unfortunately" won't be able to meet them as he has to make a statement and head off to an EU summit, but praises the boys' bravery and courage.

Reality Check

Harriet Harman asks whether the government is on track to fulfil its promise on childcare. The Conservatives said that from September parents would be able to claim up to £10,000 in tax free childcare (an increase from £6,000), with tax relief rising from £1,200 to £2,000 a year. 

To be eligible for tax-free childcare, all parents in the family will need to earn at least £50 a week but less than £150,000 a year (with some exceptions). The new scheme will apply to all children under 12. The prime minister says the detail will be in the Budget.

Huge cheers from the Tory benches as the MP who ousted Ed Balls in Morley and Outwood rises to speak. Andrea Jenkyns stumbles at the start of her question but soon finds her verbal feet -  and asks what steps are being taken to tackle economic migration from outside the EU. David Cameron welcomes her presence in the Commons, saying the result was one he had been "dreaming of". In response to her question, he lists steps the government is taking to bring migration "under control".

A favourable question from the PM from Jonny Mercer, the new Plymouth Moor View MP, invites David Cameron to cite the government's plans to raise the personal allowance, which he say will make "a real difference". He adds that he wants that to be mirrored by progress on the minimum wage.

Here are some more views from the new camera angles brought in to the Commons since the election.

Nigel Huddleston, the new Mid Worcestershire MP, shoehorns the long-term economic plan and a reference to a railway line close to the PM's constituency into his question to David Cameron - much to the delight of the PM. "He is already my new best friend," Cameron says.

Mike Freer, Conservative MP for Finchley and Golders Green, raises fears about a far-right demonstration planned in his constituency - and calls on David Cameron to combat "his anti-Semitic demonstration". 

The PM says the home secretary has written to the Met Police commissioner and said that where any criminal offence is committed demonstrators "should face the full force of the law". Freedom of speech should not be confused with harassment or threatening behaviour, he adds.

The SNP's Westminster leader Angus Robertson uses his question to promote the living wage and ask David Cameron to praise employers who pay it - which he duly does. 

The PM says No 10 is a living wage employer - and Speaker Bercow intervenes to say the Commons is, too. In his follow up question, Mr Robertson says the Scottish government is the "only accredited living wage employer as a whole" - and asks when the UK government will be too.
