Stay tuned for PMQs coverage from 1200.

1200: And here’s Brown, fresh from his meeting with Obama.  He welcomes the US President on “behalf of the people of the UK”.  And then: “I’m proud that we’re hosting the G20 meeting”.

1202: Brown bats off a question about Lord Myners by effectively saying that the matter of Fred Goodwin’s pension is in the hands of the UKFI.

1203: Good start from Cameron.  “Before getting on to the G20, I’d like to bring up the matter of MPs’ expenses.  MPs may groan, but I’m fed up with politics being dragged through the mud.”  Cameron calls for quicker reforms and a meeting between the party leaders.  This is encouraging stuff.

1205: Brown says he’s happy to meet the other party leaders, but that they’ll still have to wait for the end of of the inquiry nonetheless.

1206: Cameron pushes the issue harder.
