Conservative MP Vicky Ford says she heard the words "stupid woman" being spoken in the Chamber about herself, and that she has heard the Speaker utter these words to her from the Speaker's Chair.

She asks for an apology and to "draw a line under this and move on".

The Speaker says he has "always" treated Ms Ford with respect and that she has at no time previously raised this issue.

"If there is such an allegation I refute it 100%," he adds. "I have not said that to or about the honourable lady."

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn thanks the Speaker for the invitation to speak.

He says he called members of the government benches "stupid people" due to the "farce" currently facing the country over Brexit.

Leader of the House Andrea Leadsom makes a point of order and says that she "deeply" regrets that this was not seen as a matter for apology by the Leader of the Opposition.

The Speaker John Bercow says he has looked at the footage of Jeremy Corbyn allegedly saying "stupid woman" to Theresa May, and "it is easy to see why the leader of the Opposition's words might be construed as 'stupid woman'".

"That was also the opinion of lip speakers (and I emphasise lip speakers rather than lip readers) whose advice was obtained at short notice," he adds.

The Speaker says Mr Corbyn was sitting at the time, and not speaking to the House and so his words are not audible on the record, and he personally neither saw or heard anything.

He adds that he believes the allegations made by a number of members was based on visual evidence and "nobody can be 100% certain, that includes professional lip readers".

"I would be expected to take the word of any honourable member, and it is reasonable for the House to do the same."

He says Jeremy Corbyn has returned to the House at his request, and Jeremy Corbyn stands to speak.

Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee Tom Tugendhat says this is a "horrific humanitarian disaster" which has "emerged over past years". He says the "next stage" is the "confidence building".

Mr Hunt reponds, saying "one of the most important things is to get money into the Yemen economy" to pay civil servants. He says the Houthis recognise that they "only have a minority part" in any future administration.

"They accept that principle," he says of the Houthi rebels, "but they have to have the confidence that it will be delivered."

SNP international affairs spokesman Stephen Gethins asks the foreign secretary about steps he is taking to ensure that aid reaches those most in need.

Mr Gethins says a peace settlement will require "long term investment", and that the SNP is concerned that "arms sales far outstrip aid".

He asks the foreign secretary to reconsider his approach to arms sales, adding that the UK is "becoming increasingly isolated in this regard".

Jeremy Hunt says the UK is the second largest bilateral donor of aid to Yemen, and that the focus has been on opening up the road between Hudaydah and Sanaa so aid can easily be transported to those in need, which has succeeded.

He adds that the next step is to get the parties back round the table for further negotiations towards a political settlement, noting that "this is the first step for the fighting to stop."

Shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry says there have been "precious few moments of hope" in Yemen over the past few years.

She says she "greatly welcomes" confirmation that a peace resolution will be tabled at the UN this week - and asks whether it will be supported by the United States.

She asks what work is going on to broker a "wider political settlement" for the whole of the country, building on the ceasefire in Hudaydah.

Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt replies to say that he is "confident" that the UK has US co-operation in laying the UN security resolution.

"What we actually need, is peace in the whole country," he says.

Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt says the UN's special envoy in Yemen has reported that the ceasefire in the country "seems to be working".

He says he has urged all parties to the agreement to stick to it, in an effort towards a "lasting political solution" to the conflict in the country.

Hudaydah is a "lifeline for Yemen", he adds, with at least 70% of the country's food imports passing through its port.

He says he has instructed the UK's mission at the United Nations to resume work on a draft resolution backing the ceasefire and authorising the UN to monitor it.

The UK will ask fellow countries on the UN's security council to vote on the draft within the next 48 hours, he tells MPs.

"Our aim is to bring the collective weight of the UN behind the progress that has been made," he says, but adds that he doesn't "want to give false hope".

That’s the debate on the immigration white paper finished.

Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt is now making a statement on Yemen, where a ceasefire between Yemeni pro-government forces and Houthi rebels began earlier this week.

The UN-negotiated truce covers the port city of Hudaydah, which is crucial to the delivery of aid supplies.

Half of the war-torn country's population - 14 million people - are on the brink of famine and an estimated 85,000 children may have died from malnutrition.

SNP MP Alison Thewliss says she has the highest immigration caseload in Scotland, and sees cruelty "time and time again from the Home Office".

She asks if it is the case that EU nationals will be treated "just as despicably and just as cruelly" as those that come from outside of the EU are already.

Mr Javid says he doesn't recognise the picture she is painting, "and the answer is no".

Home Secretary Sajid Javid says he will provide Mr Ross with further information.

Labour MP Thangam Debbonaire says she is "heartbroken" at the immigration system announced.

It was an opportunity to show the world "what an outward looking nation we really are", she says, but it has taken a "really, really unhappy and unfortunate turn".

She asks why has the home secretary "failed to even consider" that it might have been an opportunity to reform the UK's approach to refugees.

Mr Javid says he doubts she has read the same white paper that he has.

Labour MP Chris Bryant says he is "disappointed" that the home secretary is sticking to his immigration targets of tens of thousands as "this will not work" and is not necessary.

He says he hopes the government "can change the rhetoric" on immigration.

Home Secretary Sajid Javid says "a more sustainable level of migration is good for all of our communities" and that it is "important that people have confidence in our immigration system".

Labour MP Catherine West says the UK has had a long tradition of following the 1961 refugee convention, and asks the home secretary if he will lift the ban on asylum seekers working in the UK.

Home Secretary Sajid Javid says the government is committed to the 1961 convention, and on the issue of asylum seekers work "it is an issue we have been looking at".

Tory MP Tim Loughton asks why "we still need to have net migration target of below 100,000?"

"You cannot do anything about one side of the equation," he points out.

He also asks him to confirm that his preference is to remove student numbers from net migration totals.

Mr Javid says there are no targets in the white paper, it is a system designed to bring net migration down but no targets are set. Regarding student numbers, he is says it is "an area we continue to look at".
