The prime minister's spokesman has welcomed the suspension of next week's junior doctors' strike in England. The spokesman said it was "extremely good news for patients", and that the British Medical Association should stop "playing politics" and doctors should suspend further strike action.

The Liberal Democrats have criticised Theresa May for having "failed to raise" Chinese steel exports during talks with the country's president, Xi Jinping, at the G20 summit.

The party's business spokeswoman Lorely Burt said it was "disgraceful" as thousands of UK steel workers faced an "uncertain future thanks to the dumping of steel on the EU market by China".

Labour backbencher Keith Vaz, who tells MPs he was born in Yemen, says the humanitarian crisis in Yemen is "the worst in the world".

He asks what is being done in order to get food to the population to stop "Yemen form bleeding to death".

Tobias Ellwood pays tribute to Mr Vaz's campaign for Yemen. The lack of supplies is because there is "no complete access to the country", he adds.

The British Medical Association has called off the junior doctors' strike due to take place in England next week amid concerns about patient safety.

The BMA insists it is not backing down against the government's imposition of a new contract.

It says planned strikes in October, November and December will still go ahead unless the government negotiates a new deal.

Doctors and managers had warned the short notice meant care was at risk.

"This was not a minor correction, but a consistent failure to provide members with accurate answers," Hilary Benn replies.

There has been "no satisfactory answer as to why", he says.

Mr Benn calls for the government to "suspend arms sales to Saudi Arabia until it can assure the House it has done a proper assessment and explain why international humanitarian law has not been breached when the UN says it clearly has".

Tobias Ellwood says he agrees the government should be more open, but adds if weapons had not been sold to the Saudis, the Houthis "would have caused a humanitarian catastrophe".

Middle East Minster Tobias Ellwood apologises for the "confusion" caused when the UK government was forced to retract numerous written and oral statements to Parliament which said ministers had assessed that Saudi Arabia was not in breach of international humanitarian law in Yemen. 

The government admitted its mistake on the final day of Parliament before the summer recess, but Mr Ellwood says he had published a written statement and written to Hilary Benn along with several other senior MPs.

The Foreign Office said the incorrect statements, made by three different ministers, some as far back as six months ago, were errors and did not represent an attempt to mislead MPs over its assessment of the Saudi campaign.

He stresses that other written answers had made clear that the UK government had made no assessment of whether the Saudis were in breach of humanitarian law.

Saudi Arabia says the Houthis, who allied with forces linked to Yemen's former president, are supported militarily by its regional rival Iran - something it denies.

More than 5,800 people have been killed in fighting since March, and more than 80% of the population is in dire need of food, water and other aid, the UN says.

Former shadow home secretary Hilary Benn is questioning ministers on breaches of international humanitarian law in Yemen.

A leaked UN report found the Saudi-led coalition fighting the Houthi rebel movement in Yemen has targeted civilians with air strikes in a "widespread and systematic" manner.

The UN panel of experts said civilians were also being deliberately starved as a war tactic over the past nine months. 

As a result Britain's continuing sale of weapons to Saudi Arabia has been called into question.

The first question in the Lords today is from Labour's Lord Beecham, on what the government is doing to reduce serious crime directed at betting shops.

He wants to know when the government will publish its triennial review of the industry, and calls for two members of staff to be present in betting shops at all times.

Home Office Minister Baroness Williams of Trafford assures him the police takes this type of crime "very seriously" and draws attention to the partnership schemes with local communities. 

Almost 40% of all serious crime against businesses targeted betting shops last year, according to reports in the Guardian, external on a presentation by London flying squad officers to the gambling industry.

Former frontbencher, Labour MP Angela Eagle asks what the government's plans are for immigration, given the prime minister "unilaterally announced it will not be adopting the Australian style points based system that the leave campaign campaigned for".

Home Office Minister Robert Goodwill replies that Australia's system means they have "higher per capita immigration" than the UK.

To adopt a similar system would mean that "foreign nationals have the right to come to the UK if they meet certain criteria" rather than the right to decide residing with the government, he says.

The prime minister Theresa May has said a points-based system will not help to control immigration.

BBC Scotland reporter David Allison goes in search of answers to what made people in Moray vote the way they did in the EU referendum.
