Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn pays tribute to Theresa May's "sense of public duty". He says he hopes she has a "marginally more relaxing time" in "opposing the reckless plans of her successor".

Child, pensioner and in work poverty have gone up in the past three years, as has homelessness, food bank use and NHS waiting times, he says. He asks if she has regrets over these changes?

Mrs May says many children are now in better schools and many people have their first jobs. "Politics isn't about exchanges across these despatch boxes" and is instead about the changes you can make in people's lives in the UK.

"We look forward to hearing what the new PM Boris Johnson wants," says the EU's chief Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier.

He says he has met Mr Johnson once, during the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics in London.

"What did you think of him?", asks BBC Brussels reporter Adam Fleming. "Did you like him?"

Mr Barnier replies: "We will work. We are ready to work."

Asked if Mr Johnson seemed intelligent and reliable, Mr Barnier says: "I think he's clever."

Labour's Ruth Cadbury has the first question and asks the PM how she feels about being followed in office by Boris Johnson?

Theresa May replies she is "pleased" to hand over to Boris Johnson who she says is "a man I worked with when he was in my cabinet, who is a Conservative and who ran on a manifesto to deliver Brexit".

The outgoing prime minister is beginning her last ever PMQs

Chancellor Philip Hammond previously said he would resign if Boris Johnson became PM.

The presenter and model Kelly Brook says years ago she intervened at a dinner party after Boris Johnson injured himself while playing thumb wars.

Speaking on Heart radio, where she presents a show, Brook said: "I've met Boris a few times.

"I was actually talking earlier about a dinner party that I was invited to.

"I sat next to him and Shirley Bassey was there, and he was asking Shirley to sing, and she told him off because Shirley sings when she wants to sing.

"That evening we were all having drinks, like a bit of party, dancing, and he started play-fighting with some of the other guests.

"And it all started getting a bit out of hand and his wife came over to me and said: 'Kelly, Kelly, they're getting very rough with each other. They're hurting Boris. Can you go and do something?"

"So I was chosen to go and split up this little kind of fracas between Boris and one of these other guys at the party, and they had been playing thumb wars or something.

"I'm not joking, they were playing thumb wars. Our prime minister (to be) was playing thumb wars.... Yeah, true story."

There maybe a changing of guard at the top but business in Parliament continues as usual.

MPs are currently putting questions to the Scottish Secretary - David Mundell.

At midday, Theresa May has her last PMQs, after which there will be four urgent questions on British steel, the historical abuse inquiry in Northern Ireland, problems at Feltham youth jail, cheating in language tests by overseas students.

Traditionally ministers leaving office write a note for their successor.

Here, the Lib Dem Press Office makes reference to a famous note left to then-Chief Secretary of the Treasury David Laws by his predecessor Labour's Liam Byrne who wrote "I'm afraid there's no money."

Hopeful MPs will be anxiously waiting by their phone for a call from No.10 Downing Street inviting them to join the government, but according to one journalist, they should avoid getting too excited too soon.

Mr Johnson "wants to get talent from across the Conservative party" and adds wants to "deliver Brexit by 31st October," says Conservative Alok Sharma.

"He's got a very much one nation vision for the country," he states.

He thinks the way to deliver unity across the country is to deliver Brexit by the end of October.

Mr Johnson "has always defied expectations" throughout his career, he adds.

The outgoing Tory chief exec Mick Davis was praised by Lord Ashcroft - former deputy chairman of the Conservative Party who said he "brought discipline to the organisation and will be difficult to replace".

Ruth Davidson - leader of the Scottish Conservatives - said he had been an "outstanding chief exec, with that rare combination of sound political judgement, ability to understand campaigns/ polls/ data and trusted relationship-building with donors and the business community".

The change in prime minister could be very exciting - but certainty about Brexit is needed, Matthew Moulding, boss of The Hut Group tells the BBC.

He has mixed emotions.

"With all change you have to have an element of nervousness and you also have to have an element of excitement for new possibilities.

"Boris Johnson has been a colourful chap over the years and he’s now in a position of serious responsibility so I think your nervousness has to come from the fact when you don’t necessarily have the same accountability you [can] be quite a jovial chap who has a lot of fun...

"Going forwards [he] is now leading the nation at a very pivotal time and that can be exciting and that can be very nervous depending on the approach," he said.

Meanwhile, Rose Marley, chief executive of SharpFutures, which helps young people into work, says: "The thing that affects us is the ability of our clients not to be able to make decisions because they don't know what the landscape looks like, so that becomes hard in terms of... scaling your business and taking people into work".

Meanwhile Sam White said her car insurance business was going well, but added: "The insurance (sector) as a whole is very reliant on Europe and a lot of the insurers that operate in the UK are European. I can see a lot of concern about what might happen in Europe post-Brexit."

"I pay enormous tribute to Theresa May as she leaves...but I also extend my very best wishes to Boris Johnson" says former foreign office minister Sir Alan Duncan.

Sir Alan says that the balance of the Parliamentary party is "very finely balanced" and Mr Johnson has to remain "extremely careful" to not push away any side of the Conservative parliamentary party.
