QUICK VERDICT: More heat than light today, but Cameron easily got the better of Ed Miliband. Now to the Spending Review live blog.
1230: Cameron says that as cuts are made, the government will have to reform the way it does criminal justice. This is a prelude for the deep cuts that the Home Office and Justice department are expected to face in the spending review.
1228: The Lib Dem MP asks whether Cameron believes that better-off graduates should bear more for their university costs. Cameron says that he agrees on principle, and claims that
“everyone in the House” wants the “same thing”: a fair and well-funded university system.
1226: Cameron says that the spending review will contain answers on social housing – but hints that the results may be better than expected.
1225: Teed up by Nick Boles, Cameron highlights that the coalition is ringfencing the NHS.
1224: Cameron says that the North East has a “bright future”, particularly in view of capital spending projects that will be in the spending review.
