UKIP MEP Stuart Agnew has described the conditions for him being allowed to see the ‘Restricted’ Agricultural chapter of the controversial TTIP trans-Atlantic trade deal. He said he was not allowed to have any electronic device and was only allowed to use "special blank paper that cannot be photocopied". He also had to undertake not to release any details:

Speaking on the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme Alan Hogarth from Amnesty International UK said the government should raise concerns over China's human rights record: 

The government has published its plans to tackle extremism.  David Cameron says:

The Muslim Council of Britain has described David Cameron's counter extremism strategy as "flawed" and "McCarthyite".  The MCB warns it could alienate Muslims and be counterproductive, implying Muslims have to prove their loyalty.

On the subject of taking action against "extremist" Mosques the Council asked:

On Heathrow Airport London mayor Boris Johnson says he doesn't think there is anything very sinister in the Cabinet Secretary's email urging cabinet ministers not to comment on the plan. Expanding Heathrow is an "absolutely crazy solution" and needs to be rejected, he says.

And the London mayor isn't likely to change his mind. He tells the BBC he will continue to say what he thinks - that Heathrow is "a diabolical idea".

Boris Johnson, Mayor of London and the MP for Uxbridge & South - has told the BBC he thinks the tax credit system is "cumbersome" and has to be sorted out. He says he's got great confidence in the government to come up with something that will work for working people.

Former home secretary Jacqui Smith writing for Progress says the Wilson doctrine should be updated, and says MPs aren't a special case, external. 

Pension reforms have increased the prospect of people being conned out of their life savings, a committee of MPs has concluded.

New rules, which came into force in April, allow people aged 55 and over to cash in their pension pots rather than take a retirement income.

This new system "is not yet operating entirely as it should", the Commons Work and Pensions Committee said.

It also raised concerns about gaps in advice and charges.

The committee said there were dangers of a mis-selling scandal if pensioners were unable to make informed choices.

So what else can we expect in Parliament today? Things won't get going in the Commons until 14.30 BST but it is going to be a busy afternoon after that. Proceedings start with defence questions and then, assuming there aren't any urgent questions, David Cameron will make a statement on the outcome of Thursday's European Council summit, in which the EU agreed to offer more assistance to Turkey to help them with the fallout from the refugee crisis. He will also update MPs on progress with his negotiations on changes to the UK's membership of the EU. After that, there will be an emergency debate on the so-called Wilson Doctrine, following Friday's ruling by the Investigatory Powers Tribunal stating that MPs and peers cannot expect special protection from surveillance by the security services. Later on, MPs will debate the Psychoactive Substances Bill for the first time at second reading and there will be an adjournment debate on noise pollution at Heathrow airport. 

Celebrity chef and food campaigner Jamie Oliver is to give evidence to MPs later amid a row with ministers over a review of sugar tax proposals. 

The Commons Health Select Committee is due to hear from Mr Oliver and Public Health England (PHE) chief executive Duncan Selbie as part of its inquiry into efforts to tackle childhood obesity. 

The TV star and businessman has been campaigning for a levy on sugary drinks, amassing nearly 150,000 signatures on a petition demanding a Commons debate. 

Last week the chef and restaurant entrepreneur added his voice to criticism of Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt over his refusal to release a PHE review of evidence on the policy before the publication of a government strategy on childhood obesity.
