'Government is silencing 1 million voters'published at 11:58
In today's Cabinet Office questions, Tom Watson, deputy Labour leader, accused the government of "intentionally... silencing the voices of over a million voters in Britain".
He asked "how does he feel about being the only minister in British history to disenfranchise one million people?".
Labour claims that millions of people will fall off the electoral register during a switch to a new system.
In reply John Penrose, parliamentary secretary, said: "I can see the conspiracy theorists are out in force." He reminds the Labour Party they supported the measure of moving voters to the new system.
He says "anyone who is a legitimate elector who has a pulse, will be able, and will have been confirmed on the electoral register". He adds if anyone is worried they have dropped off they can register online which he says takes less time than "to boil an egg".

Government has ignored warnings on prisons says Labourpublished at 11:28
Labour has accused the government of repeatedly ignoring warnings that the prison system is at "breaking point".
Lord Falconer, shadow justice secretary, says "the government needs to accept there is a problem".
His comments come after a report in the Times, external today saying "thousands of criminals will have their jail terms cut" in order to lower the prison population under new plans by Michael Gove.
Quote MessageMinisters have repeatedly ignored warnings and failed to act, leaving themselves with no choice but to look at early release regardless of public safety and victims' wishes. Instead of panic measures forced upon them that risk undermining the public's confidence in our justice system, the Government needs to accept there is a problem and urgently address the systemic issues in our jails.”

End of twitter post 7Judges refuse legal bid to unseat Liberal Democrat Alistair Carmichael as Orkney and Shetland MPpublished at 10:30
BreakingJudges have rejected a legal challenge to the election of Liberal Democrat Alistair Carmichael as the Orkney and Shetland MP.
The case was brought by four constituents who claimed he misled them over the leaking of a memo that suggested Nicola Sturgeon wanted David Cameron to remain prime minister.

The case against him was brought under the Representation of the People's Act 1963.
Toys could be used as spying devices, MPs toldpublished at 10:11
Image source, ThinkstockThe security services could remotely take over children's toys and use them to spy on suspects, MPs have been told.
The draft Investigatory Powers Bill, external would place a legal duty on internet providers to assist in hacking devices.
But it would not be restricted to phones and PCs, a tech industry chief told the Commons science and technology committee.
Antony Walker, of techUK, said anything that connected to the internet could "in theory" be hacked into.
In the future, this could include driverless cars or household appliances connected to the internet - the so-called Internet of Things - said Mr Walker.
He said the Home Office needed to spell out more clearly where it draws the line over what it calls "equipment interference", highlighting recent concerns about "smart toys" that connect to the internet and have microphones and cameras built-in.
