That's your lot from Prime Minister's Questions for another week.

There is no PMQs next week, as MPs are in recess.

Here is a quick recap of what happened today, to tide you over:

Sir Keir Starmer asked whether various Covid business support schemes will be extended - but the PM said we'll have to wait a bit longer to find out.

The Labour leader also pressed the PM on borders policy, again urging hotel quarantine in England to be extended to arrivals from all countries.

But Boris Johnson defended his current policy, calling it "amongst the toughest in the world”.

In answer to backbench MP questions, the prime minister said the government is doing "everything we can" to get England's schoolchildren back after 8 March.

And he said people "will have to get used to the idea" of re-vaccination in the autumn to protect against new coronavirus variants.

Reality Check

Labour leader Keir Starmer said “he would not take lectures from a man…who proposed Donald Trump for a Nobel peace prize.”

The prime minister has not nominated the former US president.

Instead, Boris Johnson suggested that he was as worthy for a nomination as his predecessor Barack Obama.

“If Trump can fix North Korea and the Iran nuclear deal then I don’t see why he’s any less of a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize than Barack Obama who got it before he even did anything,” he said in 2018, then as foreign secretary.

Donald Trump has in fact been nominated twice by a far-right Norwegian politician for his engagement with both North Korea and the Middle East peace process.

The BBC's Deputy Political Editor Vicki Young says Sir Keir Starmer adopted a "firmer tone" with the prime minister during his questions this week.

She tells the BBC's Politics Live Sir Keir tried to "make a theme" of asking why businesses aren't getting reassurances now on whether support for them will continue until lockdown restrictions end.

Sir Keir accused the government of leaving everything to the last minute.

The final question this week is from the DUP's Gregory Campbell on the Northern Ireland Protocol, the controversial part of the Brexit agreement governing trade between Britain and Northern Ireland which unionists want scrapped because of its disruption on business.

The PM has said he wants to make existing agreements work but he has made it "absolutely clear" to the EU that there needs to be "untrammelled free trade" between all parts of the UK.

He adds that the UK will not rule out any options, including invoking Article 16 of the protocol, to defend Northern Ireland's interests.

Conservative MP Nicola Richards says many people are missing a cancer diagnosis because screenings have been suspended due to Covid.

She urges the prime minister to make the resumption of cancer screenings a "top priority" once restrictions begin to ease.

Boris Johnson replies that the government is "worried" about people coming forward as they normally would, and urges them to do so.

Labour's Geraint Davies says there has been a fresh outbreak of the virus at the DVLA headquarters in Swansea, coming on top of more than 500 cases of Covid since last autumn.

He urges the PM to meet him and union officials to enable more staff to work from home to ward off the risk of imminent strike action.

The PM says that of 6,000 staff working there, there are currently only nine cases, showing proper protocols are in place.

Opportunities to work from home are being stepped up, he says, and lateral flow tests being made available to those who have to go in.

The prime minister despatched Sir Keir Starmer’s six questions in under 10 minutes. Surely a recent record.

The Labour leader tried to sound pro-business and tough and borders but didn’t ask anything that pinned the PM down.

It seems odd that the Labour leader chose Budget-related questions that the PM can easily side-step and say wait until March.

In response to a question from Conservative Julian Sturdy, the prime minister says the government will do everything it can "if possible" to ensure that all school children return in full on 8 March.

He says he believes prioritising schools' return is the "settled will of most people in Parliament" and he will set out plans on 22 February.

But he says the government must not let the virus get out of control again, saying we "cannot take our foot off its throat".

Liberal Democrat Layla Moran asks the prime minister whether a compensation fund will be set up for NHS staff who are suffering with "long Covid"..

She says it could be classed as an "occupational disease" and the fund could mirror that for armed services personnel.

Boris Johnson says it will be important to "look after" NHS staff, and commends their "incredible sacrifice" during the pandemic.

Conservative former chancellor Sajid Javid asks a question on biodiversity. He says the world's ecosystems are at threat of "catastrophic decline".

He warns that it is a moral and economic failure to do nothing about this. He asks if the UK has a "unique opportunity" to discuss this at this year's COP26 climate summit.

Mr Johnson thanks Mr Javid for his work in this area. He says he wants the COP26 summit in Glasgow to be a "landmark event", adding that it was "high time" the world's leaders worked to prevent the loss of wildlife that has taken place over the past century.

Plaid Cymru's Liz Saville Jones says the Conservatives' record on spreading prosperity around the UK - "levelling up" in government jargon - is "abysmal", with Research and Development spending in Wales 40% less per head than in England.

She asks when the government will move beyond its obsession with the "golden triangle of London, Oxford and Cambridge" and focus on Wales and other parts of the UK.

The PM says he is surprised by the question, suggesting the MP is in danger of "talking Wales down".

He highlights the siting of a major new battery production factory in Bridgend and the fact that many of the wings used by the world's airliners are made in Wales.

Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle ticks off the prime minister for referring to the Scottish National Party as the "Scottish Nationalist Party" during his reply to Mr Blackford.

This matter has been a bone of contention between Boris Johnson and the SNP - and is regularly brought up at PMQs.

Sir Lindsay claims Mr Johnson was "teasing" Mr Blackford and trying to wind his party up, adding: "please, let's drop it".

Everyone arriving on an overseas flight will have to quarantine in a hotel for 10 days at a cost of at least £1,750.

SNP Westminster Leader Ian Blackford says new research shows 1.3m children under five are living in poverty. He says it is a "truly shocking figure" which should make the government "truly ashamed".

The government could act on poverty now by making the £20 temporary uplift to Universal Credit permanent.

Boris Johnson says the government is helping people with food, heating bills and free school meals.

He says the government is "putting our arms around the people of this country throughout the pandemic".

Mr Blackford accuses Mr Johnson of giving a "pathetic" answer.

"They don't need more empty words from a prime minister" he adds.

He says further cuts to Universal Credit could reduce the value of it by a quarter. He asks if Mr Johnson will be "another Tory prime minister" who leaves children "languishing in poverty".

Mr Johnson says "we bitterly lament and regret the poverty" that some families suffer.

He says the SNP is morphing into a more "left wing party" that believes taxpayers should "pay more and more and more", whereas the Conservatives want more jobs for people.

For his final question, Sir Keir says the PM is failing to provide security for businesses or security at the border.

He repeats Labour's calls for the furlough scheme, business rates holiday and VAT relief to be extended - and for the hotel quarantine policy to cover arrivals from all countries.

In reply, Boris Johnson accuses the Labour leader of moving "from one side to the other" on business support measures, and calls his demands for an extension a "stunt of bandwagoneering".

Sir Keir Starmer says he will not take lessons from someone "who proposed Donald Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize and gave Dominic Cummings a pay rise.

Moving to his next question, he cites research from Oxford University saying there are at least 33 countries with tougher border restrictions than the UK.

He asks why - after more than 50 days since the South African variant was discovered - the government's hotel quarantine plan for high-risk travellers has not come into force.

The PM says some European countries do not have a quarantine plan, saying the number of people entering the UK has fallen to about 20,000, 5,000 of whom are delivering vital supplies.

He says the border controls in place are "measured, proportionate and about to get tougher on Monday".

Sir Keir Starmer asks whether the latest ban on evictions in England will also be extended.

In reply, the prime minister says the government will make sure people will are not evicted from their homes unfairly.

He says Labour should get behind government policies rather than "sniping from the side lines".

Sir Keir Starmer says he can take decisions for himself and not leaves things to the "11th minute", adding that business groups have also said they cannot wait to the Budget.

Why does the PM "know better than business", he asks.

The PM says no government has done more to support business and he welcomes Labour's support for enterprise, saying it is ironic coming from a party which advocated "dismantling" capitalism in its 2019 election manifesto and hitting pharmaceutical companies that, he says, have been so crucial in the vaccine production.

For his second question, Sir Keir says hundreds of thousands of businesses "need an answer now" on whether business rates relief will be extended.

He also asks whether the furlough scheme will be extended beyond its scheduled end-date of the end of April.

Boris Johnson doesn't respond but says his "roadmap" for unlocking rules in England will be set out in a few days.

Sir Keir Starmer is on his feet in the Commons.

The Labour leader thanks everyone involved in the vaccine rollout, saying progress has been "truly amazing".

He then asks whether the government will extend business rate relief for firms beyond 31 March.

The PM says the government is committed to supporting business through the pandemic but he should wait to March's budget to find out the government's next steps.
