  3. Osborne is making a 'serious' point - Tory MPpublished at 11:49 British Summer Time 15 June 2016

    George Osborne's "emergency budget" threat has not blown up in his face amid warnings from Conservative backbenchers that they would vote against it, insists Ed Vaizey.

    "It is not an empty threat - it is a credible warning of the kind of changes you would need to make if we left," the Tory minister tells Andrew Neil.

    Raising taxes and cutting spending would be needed to "fill the black hole" in the country's finances he says would be caused by Brexit and Mr Osborne is making a "serious" point, he adds.

  4. Tory MP: Osborne 'needs to stop talking nonsense'published at 11:49 British Summer Time 15 June 2016

    The Daily Politics

    Conservative leave campaigner Jacob Rees-Mogg says Chancellor George Osborne "needs to calm down and, regrettably, stop talking nonsense".

    He says Mr Osborne's warning of an emergency Budget is "silly" because it would take two years for the UK to formally leave the EU and although there would be some "short-term instability" in the economy it would not be nearly as bad as the chancellor is claiming.

    He suggests Mr Osborne would be acting out of "spite to punish the British voters" for voting for Brexit, something he said would be the "height of arrogance".

    But would he really vote down a Budget from his own government?

    "It's not my government it's her Majesty's," says Mr Rees-Mogg.

  8. Sir Philip: 'In reasonable good humour'published at 11:40 British Summer Time 15 June 2016

    The BBC's business editor writes:

    Simon Jack
    BBC Business Editor

    Sir Philip Green

    "He's been in reasonably good humour - with a few cracks along the way. He's stressed that he hasn't run away, takes responsibility and wants to find solutions. He's also been very vague on detail, particularly the timing of pension conversations. There were a couple of ill-tempered moments when he asked MP Richard Fuller to stop staring at him, but he has been getting on surprisingly well with the man who called for his knighthood to be stripped, Frank Field. Understandably he wants to focus on his revelation that he's currently working on a solution to get a better deal for pensioners."

  9. Sir Philip: 'I haven't been running away'published at 11:38 British Summer Time 15 June 2016

    Coming up to a break in the hearing here, Sir Philip reiterates that he hasn't been "running away" from the BHS pension problems.

    The regulator hasn't been forthcoming in working with him, "to put it mildly", he says - but they are in dialogue now.

  10. Sir Philip objects to media coveragepublished at 11:38 British Summer Time 15 June 2016

    Sir Philip complains about the media coverage of himself.

    The way people are writing about me..."I could have been a murderer, although I haven't got any guns," he says.

  13. What happened to the Project Thor plan?published at 11:22 British Summer Time 15 June 2016

    Project Thor - a plan that had been in the works by Sir Philip to restructure BHS pensions - was paused on September 5th 2014 - a day after a letter from the regulator was sent to BHS with questions about the scheme.

    Sir Philip says the fact that it was paused was nothing to do with that letter - but because of economic uncertainty and because the key Christmas trading period was coming up and he wanted to see how that panned out.

  14. Pensions Regulator dialoguepublished at 11:22 British Summer Time 15 June 2016

    Advisers to Sir Philip have spoken to the Pensions Regulator two or three times over the last week to find a solution for the BHS pension scheme. Sir Philip suggests the two sides will meet shortly.

  18. 'Beating me up'published at 11:04 British Summer Time 15 June 2016

    "You're trying to lead me to say things I'm not going to say," says Sir Philip to Mr Graham, when asked about his assurance that the BHS pension scheme would not fall into the Pension Protection Fund.

    "Instead of this man beating me up... can we go to the pensions committee," Sir Philip appeals to the chairman of the committee to move on.

  19. Did Sir Philip make assurances over pension scheme?published at 11:04 British Summer Time 15 June 2016

    Sir Philip says he does not remember what was said in a meeting with former pensions minister Steve Webb in 2012.  

    Mr Webb says the businessman gave assurances there was "no risk" of the BHS pension scheme falling into the Pension Protection Fund.

    "Funds would be found from elsewhere," Mr Webb has quoted Sir Philip as saying.

    But Sir Philip says he doesn't have a note of that meeting, and refuses to answer further questions on it.

    "Which bit of 'don't remember' do you not understand," he says to MP Richard Graham.

  20. Pensions deficitpublished at 11:04 British Summer Time 15 June 2016

    Sir Philip is asked whether, when the BHS pension scheme went into deficit in 2005 for the first time, he recollects any discussions with the trustees about how to plug that gap.

    He does not.
