Pressed on his previous calls for a independent investigation into allegations of islamophobia in the party, Mr Javid says: "Do you all agree guys? Shall we have an external investigation of the Conservative party into islamophobia?"

Each candidate agrees with Mr Javid. "Excellent," he says.

... from Sajid Javid to bounce all of the candidates - including Boris Johnson - into his plan for an inquiry into Islamophobia in the Conservative Party. They all agree quick-smart.

Jeremy Hunt is questioned about his comments about Donald Trump's tweets about Sadiq Khan - he says his support for his tweets was purely about his criticism of Mr Khan's record on fighting crime in London - not the choice language used.

He adds that he would like to deliver a "tolerant Brexit".

Boris Johnson was asked how tariffs (taxes on imports) could be avoided in Northern Ireland after a no-deal Brexit. He claimed that the UK could continue to trade with the EU with no tariffs, using something called Article 24 of GATT, until a free trade deal had been negotiated.

He said: “There will be no tariffs; there will be no quotas because what we want to do is get a standstill in our current arrangements under GATT 24 until such time that we have negotiated an FTA [Free Trade Agreement].”

But you can’t use Article 24 in this way - a trade agreement has to be agreed in principle before Article 24 can be used. It also needs the two sides to agree, the UK can’t just impose it on the EU.

Questioned about his former comments comparing Muslim women to letterboxes, Boris Johnson says he is "sorry" for the offence his words have caused in the past. He definitely referenced things he said while he was "a journalist", though, and plenty of these controversial things happened long after that, while he was a politician.

He would not be drawn on Abdullah's question of whether "words have consequences" but said he did not think his words made a difference in the case of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe.

...on the very specific issue of his language.

After the question from the imam, Boris Johnson has to address head on the stuff he's written in the past, including the very recent past. He had to address this at his launch too.

The next question is from Abdullah in Bristol, who says he worries about "Islamophobic rhetoric".

He asks the candidates whether they would agree that "words have consequences".

The care system is a "disgrace and a scandal", says Rory Stewart. Again he tacks to a different place from the others - and again, as with Mr Johnson, all the others lob questions directly at him.

Jeremy Hunt says he accepts that some cuts to social care "did go too far".

He says some local authorities do need more money, and there should be better provision for mental health services.

Our correspondent Chris Mason says he hasn't hear Mr Hunt say that before.

Boris Johnson says "much more" needs to be invested in education.

Rory Stewart says the Tories have "not sorted out" social care, and "much more money" will be required for this - it's a disgrace, he adds.

Sajid Javid says spending needed to be changed in local government, health, and education.

"The question is how you're going to fund it," he adds.

Nearly two-thirds of the way through, we haven't heard any zingers in terms of new policies. The candidates are repeating what they have already announced.

... when they all think he has made a mistake, suggesting the current questioner is a man rather than a woman. But it turns out he wanted to address the bloke before her, who did have a pop at him. In fact, the previous questioner - James from Oxford - said he felt only Jeremy Hunt had really answered his question.

Michael Gove says he has outlined a plan to find "loving homes" for people in care. He says he made changes while education secretary that made it easier for children to be adopted.

He adds that there needs to be a funding boost in education, with better targeting of funds.

Rory Stewart says he would be prepared to reverse cuts to children's services if a "sensible Brexit" can be delivered.

If there is more money available, it should go to public services, he adds, but warns that in the event of a no-deal Brexit, there won't be the money around to do this stuff.

Michael Gove speaks with passion about the role of foster carers, given his own experience as a child who spent his first four months in care and was then adopted. But there weren't any specifics about what he would do funding wise if he were prime minister.
