Here are the latest updates:

David Cameron has been grilled in the Commons with the 'Google' tax, 'Bedroom' tax, the war in Yemen and migrants at the forefront of the debate.

Again taking a question from the public - this time Geoff - Jeremy Corbyn pinned the Prime Minister down over a tax deal which saw Google pay £130m to the treasury - a tiny portion of their profits over the past decade. 'Geoff' asked Mr Cameron if there was any way he could pay the same rate of tax (3 per cent) as the tech giant.

George Osborne has previously described the £130m deal as a "major success" in his drive to get internet giants to pay more tax - but shadow Chancellor John McDonnell has told The Independent it shows the Tories are "giving 'mates' rates' to big business".

Meanwhile, this morning a landmark Court of Appeal ruling found that the Tory bedroom tax was "unlawful" and "discriminatory" in two cases.

And a damning report from Transparency International into global corruption has described the Government as "extraordinarily inept" over its relationship with Saudi Arabia.
