  2. Cycle safetypublished at 12:24

    A change of subject here. Ben Bradshaw raises the issue of cycle safety in London after the death of another cyclist after a collision with a tipper truck. The Labour MP says a ban on such vehicles should be considered. Mr Cameron says much has been done to improve safety but that the number of fatalities is "very high" and the sight of "young lives being snuffed out" was a tragedy.

    Political analyst

    David Cameron says that since he became prime minister there are 390,000 fewer children living in households where nobody works. He’s correct. According to the Office for National Statistics, external, there were 1.91 million children living in workless households in 2010. By 2014 (the latest figures) that had fallen to 1.52 million – a fall of just under 390,000.

    Mr Robertson presses the PM, urging the government to commit to deliver the Smith Commission proposals in full. But the PM says the SNP only wants to take about "process not powers" and, uses a bit of text speak, FFS. Although in this case he suggests it stands for a "full fiscal shambles".

  13. Scottish powerspublished at 12:15

    The SNP's Angus Roberson is now on his feet. He talks about last year's "vow" during the Scottish referendum to offer greater powers. He says the government's Scotland Bill is limited and does not include the full proposals from last year's Smith Commission. But the PM rejects that suggestion, saying the bill delivers it in full and uses the exchange to attack the SNP's plan for full fiscal autonomy. 

  14. Party of the workerspublished at 12:14

    The PM says the party of working people - a slogan he adopted during the election - has helped two million people into work. He says Labour has not learnt the lesson of the financial crisis in Greece and that only by dealing with a country's debts, can a country move forward. That is the end of the leaders' exchanges.

  17. Reality Check: "£1,400 worse off"published at 12:14

    Emily Craig
    Political analyst

    Harriet Harman refers to cuts in tax credits making families with children £1,400 a year worse off. This is a figure from the Institute for Fiscal Studies. It said: "Returning the per-child element of child tax credit to its real (CPI-adjusted) 2003–04 level would reduce entitlements for about 3.7 million low-income families with children by an average of £1,400 per year."

  18. Harman v Cameronpublished at 12:12

    The argument is being developed here with Mr Cameron saying that unless you cut welfare, there will be deep cuts to the NHS or taxes will rise. If Labour wants to make the same argument for the next five years, "let them". But Ms Harman says the Conservatives are attacking the low-paid and asks "so much for the party of the working people".
