PMQs - live updates 



  • Julian Brazier, tory MP for Canterbury, blames the last Labour government for "unprecedented immigration" in their last term in office. PM responds, saying that over 200,000 immigrants flock to the UK every year, and the number coming in "is now on the decrease".
  • HS2 question is raised by Labour MP Grahame Stringer, for Brighton. Mr Cameron says that the construction for high speed rail is on-going and argued that any delays would mean that HS2 "if anything, is going too slowly".
  • MP also raises issue of dangerous driving, saying that maximum sentence must be increased in order to keep the streets safe.
  • Sir Peter Tapsell, Father of the House blames French troops for issues in Mali. Mr Cameron actually responds with a statement that UK troops will be helping the French in their effort. 
  • Peter Luff, tory MP for Mid Worcestershire, asks if graduates and apprenticeship programmes are still ongoing, and how tis corresponds with university applications. PM answers, saying he wants to "raise the status of engineering" in the country with apprenticeships.
