PMQs - Exchanges and my verdict
Lunchtime summary
Cameron has said that MPs must do more to pay for their own retirement.
Theresa May, the Interior Minister, has said she is considering emergency legislation following to say after a court ruling that the police did not release suspects on police bail for more than four days.
Kenneth Clarke, the justice secretary, has said that stabbing a burglar would be acceptable under the government's plans to clarify the law on self-defence."If an old lady was that she 's an 18-year-old burglar in her house and takes her with a kitchen knife, and it is in it, she has committed no crime and we will make the \ clear," he said . Clarke made his remarks before the start of the second reading debate on legal aid, sentencing and punishment of crimes bill. But Downing Street has admitted that the clarification of self-defense laws have not necessarily included in the bill. Officials are "still going strong, exactly who she \ clarify the position," said the Prime Minister 's spokesman in the last hour. (See 10.41.)
Michael Gove, the education minister, has proposed that the majority of all students learn math, until they are 18. In a speech to the Royal Society, he said: "I think we should set a new goal for the education system so that within a decade the vast majority of pupils are studying maths right through to the age of 18." According to the Press Association, it is understood that for such a move to happen would require more teachers, and new courses aimed at teaching sixth-formers maths relevant to their lives and future qualifications, rather than relying on A-level maths. (See 11.50am.)
12.25pm:
12.18pm: Anne Marie Morris, a Conservative, says water bills in Devon are higher than anywhere else, even though family incomes are below average in the county.
Cameron says a lot of thought has gone into how the arrangements will work when repatriation takes place at Brize Norton.
12.13:
Cameron says he's in this search. In his view, Hizb ut-Tahrir claims that go far beyond what is acceptable made. But the government has to act within the law.
12.13: Asked if he ask for Tory MPs with the tax relief on private health insurance obligation, says Cameron: "The short answer is no, I agree with don 't \."
Miliband points out that Cameron cannot guarantee that people won't be rehired to do their own jobs. People will notice that he can't be trusted with the NHS.
Cameron says people will notice that Miliband could not ask about strikes because he is in the pocket of the unions. And Miliband could not ask about Greece because his plans would turn Britain into Greece. "He's got to talk about the micro because he can't talk about the macro".
12.01pm: David Cameron says he does not think there is "any case" for strikes tomorrow. He wants to see "as many mums and dads as possible" able to take their children to school.
Michael Gove
Labour wants to keep indeterminate sentences.
Labour 's position is clear - offenders will be rehabilitated and pose no risk to the public and proper procedures must be followed prior to their release. We accept no plans to water down the protection, have the public through an indefinite sentences for public protection (IPP).
And work is, the cuts to legal aid to meet.
Deny those most in need of access to courts by social welfare legal aid is not only unconscionable, but also economically unsound. Receive legal advice escalating housing, welfare and prevent debt problems has been shown that the money to save the taxpayers further down the line.
11.19:
It is true that Margaret Thatcher defeated the unions. It is also true that this followed dozens of disputes in which the Government was defeated by the unions. That, in fact, was the more usual outcome ...
So, irrespective of how heinous their crimes or the danger they present to the public, Britain has no power to expel them.
Chris Huhne
We should head off the challenge of price and supply uncertainty by the oil hook.
So we can to protect our customers from high prices, and our economy from price shocks - which is not only the rise but may trigger a recession ...
Protect ourselves from price shocks is not the work of a day, a week or a year, we must liberate our economy from carbon addiction over the long haul.
It is no surprise that France is the European country with the least reliance on fossil fuels, and enjoys some of the lowest prices 9.4 per cent below ours.
Government approval: -25
Clarke tells what happened to them was appalling. But lawyers have to cross-examine witnesses. The judge could have stepped in if he thought the interview was going over the top. You can not stop an angry defense of defendants assembly.
Clarke says Davis has to put that in a bad way. He feels strongly about this, he says.
08:19: Davis asks indeterminate sentences.
8.14am:
Police chiefs outside London are also preparing for crime to start rising, particularly in the major urban areas. One chief constable said: "We are just about holding the line, but there are clear signs that burglary and robbery are on the turn." Another said: "I don't think the rubber has hit the road yet."
And then there 's still a lot more. Here 'sa list.
8.45 Clock: Paul Burstow , The health minister, a speech on social care.
Clock 9:
As usual, I'll be covering all the breaking political news, as well as looking at the papers and bringing you the best politics from the web. I'll post a lunchtime summary at around 1pm, and an afternoon one at about 4pm
