  5. PM pressed over police cutspublished at 12:28

    Labour MP Gordon Marsden says his Blackpool constituents face a "double whammy" on police cuts.  David Cameron defends the funding formula and says funding for Lancashire Police is £180m, which he says is the same as 2003. He says crime has fallen since the government took office.

  6. Concerns over Operation Stack caused by Channel crossing delayspublished at 12:24

    Conservative MP Damian Collins appeals to the government to give urgent action to addressing Operation Stack which has been causing issues in Kent. David Cameron says he understands the pressures and promises the government will look into way to relieve them.

  7. SNP raises concerns over service widows' pensionspublished at 12:22

    In his follow-up question, the SNP's Angus Robertson says many service widows are still deprived of their partners’ pensions and asks what the PM would do to “rectify this wrong”. Mr Cameron says the government has acted to ensure those that remarried could still access their pensions and says he’s happy to look at any further measures.

  8. Military covenant questionpublished at 12:22

    SNP Westminster leader Angus Robertson asks whether the PM agrees that more must be done to deliver on the “spirit and the letter” of the military covenant. David Cameron does, saying it is "one of the most important things we have" - and says his is the first government to enshrine the covenant in law.

  9. Backbench questionspublished at 12:21

    Commons

    That's it for the Cameron v Corbyn exchanges. Over to backbenchers now. A question on surveillance powers prompts David Cameron to tell the House it's one of the most important bills the Commons will discuss. Theresa May is to set out what the bill entails later. Mr Cameron says communications data has been "absolutely vital" in catching serious criminals.

  10. Clashes over NHS performancepublished at 12:19

    Jeremy Corybn says waiting lists in the NHS are up by a third and tells the PM to "get real". The NHS has a real problem, he tells David Cameron and urges him to address it.

    The prime minister responds with figures of his own. He says there are 10,500 more doctors and cites the introduction of the Cancer Drugs Fund and abolition of mixed-sex wards. This is only possible with a strong economy, he argues.

  12. Jeremy Corbyn questions PM on NHSpublished at 12:14

    The Labour leader now focuses his questioning on the NHS - first citing the row over junior doctors' contracts, before turning to the wider health service. "Can the PM guarantee there'll be no winter crisis in the NHS this year?" David Cameron says the new contracts will deliver a stronger and safer NHS. He adds that the NHS is benefiting from an extra £10bn and "has the resources that it needs".

  13. David Cameron on the attackpublished at 12:13

    David Cameron says many soldiers will benefit from the £11,000 personal income tax allowance. Serving soldiers with children will also benefit from expanded childcare. He attacks Mr Corbyn's stance on the Army saying the man he quoted wouldn't have a job if the Labour leader came to power.  

  14. 'Is this how you treat veterans?'published at 12:12

    David Cameron

    David Cameron attacks Jeremy Corbyn for having "opposed every single welfare reform" the government has proposed.

    Mr Corbyn, back on his feet, says some stand to lose more than £2,000 when the changes come into effect next year. Too much noise in the chamber prompts Speaker John Bercow to intervene. Resuming, Mr Corbyn says the point of Parliament is to "put questions to those in authority". He pauses til the sound dies down and quotes from a Gulf War veteran who he says stands to lose money. "Is this how the government treats veterans?".

  15. Jeremy Corbyn: This isn't funnypublished at 12:08

    Jeremy Corbyn

    "This is not funny for people who are desperately worried about what's going to happen next April," responds Jeremy Corbyn - after David Cameron questioned whether the Labour leader was sticking to the "new politics".

    He presses the PM over tax credits, prompting Mr Cameron to respond with a similar answer to his last one. He says the government is cutting taxes and increases pay but says welfare must be reformed. "He'll have his answer in three weeks' time," he tells Mr Corbyn.

  16. Corbyn leads on tax credits againpublished at 12:06

    Over to Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn now - who echoes David Cameron's tributes to those who have died in "all wars".

    Turning to his questioning, he’s chosen to lead on tax credits – a topic he challenged the PM over last week repeating the question he asked six times seven days ago. He wants confirmation that no-one will be worse off as a result of the changes next April.

    The PM says next April there'll be an increase in the personal income tax and a national living wage at £7.20 - all of which he argues will help families. He says new proposals on tax credits will be set out in the Autumn Statement.

  17. First question on defence spendingpublished at 12:04

    Craig Tracey, Conservative MP for North Warwickshire and Bedworth, has topped the list of MPs to question the prime minister. He asks the PM if he agrees on the need to maintain the commitment to spending at least 2% of national income on defence.

    David Cameron says he's right "as we do live in a very dangerous and uncertain world". He says the 0.7% aid spending commitment helps, as does keeping Trident.

  19. Laura's PMQs previewpublished at 12:01

    The Daily Politics

    With just moments to go until Prime Minister's Questions, what does BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg think will feature this week?

    She predicts Labour may lead on the junior doctors' contracts, amid opposition to the government's proposals. Or perhaps the visit of the Egyptian president to the UK.

    Asked how much pressure Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt is under, she says in the context of the forthcoming spending review there's no extra money anywhere in government and he's trying to make a deal work. She says senior government figures expect there to be a strike.
