Live coverage of PMQs from 1200.
1202: Brown kicks off by marking this as the Speaker’s final PMQs. We’ll have a “valedictory” session for the Speaker after PMQs.
1203: Oh dear. Labour’s Alan Whitehead asks what would happen with climate change commitments if budgets were cut by “say, 10 percent”. Embarrassing. I think we can see where this PMQs is going…
1204: Good, punchy start from Cameron, saying that this is “Prime Minister’s planted questions”. And then asks Brown to confirm that he will cut real terms spending from 2011 (as the Budget says it will).
1205: Disgraceful stuff from Brown. He says that the Tories have to to confirm that they would “cut spending this year”. And then bangs on about “10 percent”, “investment” etc.
1206: Cameron asks the same question again, seeking the answer that Brown refused to give.
1207: Seriously, this is utterly horrendous stuff from Brown.
