Transport Secretary Chris Grayling refuses to rule out further cuts to police numbers, but insists "we are protecting police budgets".

House of Commons
Parliament

MPs began today at 11.30am with what promised to be an interesting session of questions to ministers from the Northern Ireland Office, given the confidence and supply deal that has been agreed between the DUP and the Conservative minority government.

This will also be the first time in many years that there will be no nationalist representation at this question session - or indeed in this Parliament, as the SDLP lost all three of their seats and the seven Sinn Fein MPs do not take their seats.

After Prime Minister's Questions today's Queen's Speech debate will kick off from around 12.35pm and will focus on health, social care and security.

At the end of the day newly returned Liberal Democrat Sir Vince Cable will lead an adjournment debate on the school funding formula in London.

This is one of the most eagerly awaited PMQs in a long time. Jeremy Corbyn is likely to get an enthusiastic reception from Labour MPs - many of whom had sat in silence during his previous appearances - following the party's better-than-expected election result. Will he rise to the occasion?

We don't know what line of attack he will use against Theresa May - but Labour are tabling an amendment to the Queen's Speech calling for the 1% public sector pay cap and cuts to the police and emergency services to end.

Will Mr Corbyn contrast Mrs May's pay restraint and austerity with the billion pounds she found for Northern Ireland to secure the support of the DUP to prop up her minority government?
