Nicky Morgan asks for congratulations for Loughborough SU RAG, which this year has raised more money than any other RAG in the country.
Harriet Harman asks for an update as to the riots in Belfast, and asks if the PM has met with the NI FM and deputy FM.
Over 80 police officers have been injured in the riots. Police "acted with real restraint".
Harman: Will patients keep their guaranteed right of seeing a cancer specialist within two weeks of seeing their GP?
Only keep targets where they actually contribute to clinical outcomes.
Harman calls question evasion; accuses the Health Secretary of having done the same. Repeats her question.
For some people two weeks is too long. That's the point. Asks Harman to answer a question: is it Labour policy to cut the NHS? Manages to get in a quip about the Labour Leadership election being about sucking up to Trade Unions whilst doing so.
Mr. Speaker vetoes having that question answered.
Harman accuses him of ditching the guarantee for cancer patients and not having the guts to admit it to the house. She tries a new question: The NHS White Paper shows extra administrative costs. How much extra will it cost?
Goverment cutting £1bn of administration from NHS.
"Obviously they can't answer questions; they haven't got the answers".
Labour defending beauracracy of the NHS. Coalition want money to go on treatments and patients and doctors and nurses.
Harman accuses him of question evasion. Again. She insists that the White Paper admits there'll be extra costs.
"We are not reorganising the beauracracy; we are scrapping the beauracracy.
Bob Russell asks for conversations as to how the extra VAT voluntary and charity organisations will have to pay can be paid back to them.
PM says he'll certainly have them. One way to help voluntary and charity sector is to look at funding them on same basis as Government funds itself.
Lillian Greenwood asks for guarantee that firefighters and police maintain their ability to access occupational pensions before state pension age.
Pensions review being carried out by former Labour minister. Two reports: Christmas and New Year, where public sector pensions are looked at and Government tries to find fair resolutions. All parties should be involved in this.
Chris Heaton-Dennis: Will PM have conversation with Zuckerberg to get rid of Raoul Moat tribute group on Facebook.
Raoul Moat was a callous murderer. Full stop. End of story. Cannot understand any wave, however small, of sympathy for this man. Sympathy should be for victims and community.
Valerie Vaz: Ask Secretary of State for Education to take time out from the "Apology Tour" to explain his decision to school and college in her constituency.
David Cameron: Apology tour is refreshing.
