Theresa May says David Cameron "is right to target the amount we pay in benefits for those coming to the UK to work, and put these arrangements on a sensible basis".

"Even if we could manage all the consequences of mass immigration, Britain does not need net migration in the hundreds of thousands every year," Theresa May says. The home secretary claims that evidence "shows that while there are benefits of selective and controlled immigration, at best the net economic and fiscal effect of high immigration is close to zero".

Turning to the migrant crisis in Europe, Theresa May says: "People on both extremes of the debate – from the anti-immigration far right to the open-borders liberal left – conflate refugees in desperate need of help with economic migrants who simply want to live in a more prosperous society."

Theresa May, home secretary, addresses critics of RAF drone strikes in Syria. She says the people targeted "have taken the conscious decision to make themselves our enemies".

"It is too simplistic to say that there is a single intervention which will bring a sudden end to the fighting," the home secretary says. "There is no easy solution to the civil war in Syria, and we must learn the lessons of the past." The UK "must work to get the states that sponsor the different armies and militias around the negotiating table," she adds.

Theresa May says the civil war in Syria "exceeds even the other conflicts of the Middle East in its barbarism, brutality and bloodshed".

Theresa May tells Baroness Helic: "Your story is an inspiration to us all."

She begins by paying tribute to PC David Phillips, who was struck and killed by a stolen car during a pursuit in Merseyside. The home secretary says we owe PC Phillips and other police officers "our gratitude".

Conservative peer Baroness Helic, who was born in Bosnia, takes to the stage to introduce Theresa May. "Twenty years ago, Britain gave me safety," she says. The UK gave her a home and a chance to contribute, she adds.

In a Q&A after his speech, David Miliband says the refugee crisis makes the case for "an improved", not a more fragmented, European Union.

"It's far better to be in the room writing the rules than... getting sent the rules," he adds - in reference to Britain's continued membership of the 28-member bloc. He argues that in the modern world countries are stronger in alliance with their neighbours than separate from them.

The Daily Politics

Andrew Neil is in Manchester and will be interviewing Liam Fox and Theresa May, while Jo Coburn in London will be joined by journalist Peter Hitchens, and she will talk to Priti Patel at Conservative Party conference.

And there will be clips from the speeches of Michael Gove and Boris Johnson on the Daily Politics from 12:00 to 13:00.

James Landale will be on-air from 23:15 with highlights from the programme and more speeches with Today at Conference on BBC2.

Conservative MP for Louth and Horncatle, Victoria Atkins, introduces a panel of Conservative Police and Crime Commissioners.

David Miliband says he believes the number of people fleeing conflict is "a trend, not a blip". He says short-term responses aren't sufficient, and also calls for "legal routes" in Europe to claim refugee status, warning that without these it puts the smugglers in power.

Michael Gove says society should not view prisoners as a liabilities to be "warehoused" but as "assets". And that brings his speech to an end - Home Secretary Theresa May is up next.

"If children grow up in homes without moral boundaries," with bad role models and without care, Michael Gove tells the Conservative Party conference: "They are more likely to make bad choices". The justice secretary argues that criminal justice is wrapped up with social care and getting people out of poverty.
