That's all for our coverage today. Please join us again on Wednesday when David Cameron and Jeremy Corbyn will be taking part in Prime Minister's Questions in the Commons. The government is expected to make an announcement about changes to its energy policy while peers will be debating the EU referendum bill, with calls from opposition parties for 16 and 17 year olds to be given the vote. 

The Daily Telegraph is reporting that David Cameron is preparing to hold a Commons vote on Syrian air strikes by Christmas. 

The BBC's political correspondent Ross Hawkins says plenty of MPs think that timescale is likely, but a Downing Street source insisted they are not drawing up plans for a vote on any given date. 

The source described the Telegraph report as speculation and said they were "not pencilling in any dates". He said: "We've been very clear that we're not setting out a timetable for a vote."

Here's a brief rundown of what has happened so far today.

David Cameron has promised to win MPs' backing for bombing Islamic State militants in Syria as well as Iraq by putting forward a "comprehensive strategy" for political as well as military action.  

Jeremy Corbyn says he supports any "strictly necessary force" needed to protect the UK in a terrorist attack amid criticism of previous comments he made about shoot-to-kill tactics.

Iain Duncan Smith's work and pensions department is one of seven more to have reached a spending deal with the Treasury, George Osborne says as he announces extra resources for cyber security.

A deal has been reached between the British and Irish governments and the Northern Ireland parties to resolve the current political crisis. 

Labour MP Mary Creagh says she backs extending UK military action into Syria, saying "ungoverned spaces allow terrorism to flourish". So-called Islamic State has to be tackled, she said, adding that military force should never be ruled out. David Cameron has to come forward with a proposal, she said, and that will be "the time for the Labour Party to decide".

Defence Secretary Michael Fallon has invited Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn to discuss the security threats facing the UK with the Chief of the Defence Staff after a recent row between the two men over the use of the UK's nuclear weapons system. Sir Nicholas Houghton questioned whether Mr Corbyn, who has stated he would be unwilling to use the deterrent in any circumstances, could pursue such a policy if he gained power. The Labour leader said the army officer had overstepped the mark and breached conventions on political neutrality. Mr Fallon has now written to Mr Corbyn defending the comments.

Boris Johnson has also said he hopes MPs will back David Cameron if and when he returns to the Commons to seek their approval to join in the bombing of Islamist extremist positions in Syria. He tells the BBC that the the US is already carrying out missions to target the self-styled Islamic State group - also known as ISIL or Daesh - and that as their "number one ally" he wants the UK to join them.

London Mayor Boris Johnson says police will be "stepping up" their operations ahead of this evening's France-England football match at Wembley but he insists that their presence won't be too "overt and heavy" and the military won't be involved. He says it is right for the match to go ahead, saying there is no specific threat to the game and it is right that football fans show the "proper defiance" to what happened in Paris by turning up in large numbers and, as he hopes, singing both national anthems. 

David Cameron has hailed Tuesday's political agreement in Northern Ireland as an "important turning point". In a statement, he said.

How long does it take to register to vote? On this question may hang the date of the referendum on Britain's membership of the European Union. 

Some eurosceptics and election officers claim an expected decision by the House of Lords this week to give 16 and 17 year olds the vote could delay the referendum by up to a year. 

But ministers have told me that they believe this to be nonsense and that the process of getting all these teenagers onto the register would not take nearly so long and there would be no need for the referendum to be delayed. So who is right?
