Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is likely to face questions over safeguarding and crime, following Tuesday's horrific attack in Hainault, which saw one teenager killed and four other people seriously wounded by a 36-year-old man wielding a long knife.

He is also likely to be probed about the row that ensued earlier this week over asylum seekers arriving in Ireland who crossed over from Northern Ireland.

As highlighted earlier, the question of the missing asylum seekers - those that are set to to be deported to Rwanda but could be not located by the government - will surely also be levelled at the PM.

Meanwhile, drama in the SNP, whose First Minister Humza Yousaf resigned on Monday after “underestimating” the consequences of backtracking on a deal with the Scottish Greens, is likely to draw questions.

And with local elections in Wales and England less than 24 hours away, anxiety over the polls, which don't look good for the Conservatives, are likely to loom large.

The Conservatives are expected to do badly in the local elections, where voters often take out frustrations with the party in government at the ballot box.

But the Tories’ current terrible polling - a full 20 points behind Labour for months now - is only a flavour of opinion.

The actual scale of losses in the local elections, and the metro mayor elections, too, should give a good idea if that polling is likely to be reflected in the general election.

The results matter for who makes decisions locally, of course, but they’ll also give a good indication of voters’ feelings in the run-up to the general election.

If they’re very bad, they could even be the catalyst for the prime minister to call a snap election.

As we briefly mentioned a moment ago, the Home Office has admitted that most of the asylum seekers due to be deported under the government’s flagship Rwanda scheme cannot be immediately located.

According to documents, there are 5,700 asylum seekers who have been earmarked for the initial deportation. But only "2,143 continue to report to the Home Office and can be located for detention", the documents say.

No 10 has said it was "not accurate" to say the Home Office was unable to locate the others and there were a “wide range of tools” used to maintain contact with them.

However, a government source admitted it was possible some could abscond before they were detained.

If you’d like to brush up on that story before PMQs kicks off, you can do that here.

Good morning and welcome to our coverage of this week’s Prime Minister's Questions. Rishi Sunak will be up from 12:00 BST, taking questions from Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, and other MPs across the political divide.

It's the last PMQs before voters in England and Wales go to the polls tomorrow to elect regional mayors, councillors and police and crime commissioners in the last major test of public opinion before the general election.

This week’s session comes with the government's asylum strategy back in the news. Westminster and Dublin are at loggerheads over asylum seekers arriving in Ireland over the border with Northern Ireland, with the prime minister saying he was “not interested” in receiving those asylum seekers back.

Then on Tuesday, the Home Office admitted that most of the asylum seekers initially earmarked for deportation to Rwanda could not be immediately located.

However, late on Tuesday it emerged a failed asylum seeker has become the first to be relocated to Rwanda - however this wasn't done as part of the government's flagship policy, with the person going voluntarily and being paid £3,000 to do so.

All this and more could feature over the course of the session, so stick with us.
