Here’s the main exchange between David Cameron and Ed Miliband at PMQs today:- After wishing the Prime Minister a happy birthday, Ed made the debate all about his energy price cap policy.

There was a droll exchange between Richard Ottaway and the Prime Minister over scrap metal. Ottaway asked the Prime Minister to welcome the new Scrap Metal Dealers Act (‘It’ll make the trains run on time’).
