PMQs - as it happened: Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn clash over NHS winter crisis warnings

All the latest updates from Westminster, as they happened

Jeremy Corbyn attacks Theresa May over private healthcare in PMQs

Theresa May was accused of being "too weak" to sack her Health Secretary as warnings over the NHS winter crisis dominated the first Prime Minister's Questions of the year.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn focused all six of his questions on challenges in the health service, after hospitals were told to defer around 55,000 routine operations and potentially millions of outpatient appointments to free up capacity for the sickest patients.

He also mocked Ms May for failing to get rid of Jeremy Hunt, the Health Secretary, who was widely thought to be in line for a move during the reshuffle but kept his job, and expanded his remit, after reportedly refusing to budge.

The two-day reshuffle - aimed at ridding her top team of its “pale, male and stale” image - saw a raft of new MPs promoted to junior ministerial positions. However Ms May’s efforts to shake up the top tier stalled when senior ministers, including Mr Hunt and Justine Greening, until then the Education Secretary, declined other jobs.

MPs also debated opposition day motions on the NHS and the railways, while Labour’s motion demanding that the Government releases extra cash to combat the crisis passed in the Commons without a vote.

Commons leader Andrea Leadsom has been interviewed about the new code of conduct for MPs after a survey of Westminster staff found dozens of parliamentary aides faced bullying at work while four women said they had been victims of sexual assault.

"As ever, with something like this, you want to focus on informal resolution, you want to focus on prevention, you want to focus on changing the culture. However there will be real sanctions at the end of this process," she told BBC Radio 5 Live.

"If it's a Member of Parliament, then it would be a referral to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, and ultimately to the Commons Committee for Standards, which has the ability to suspend Members of Parliament.

"And there is of course then the Recall of MPs Act 2015, that itself does enable a constituency to decide to get rid of their Member of Parliament.

"So that would be the ultimate sanction."

Eighteen women and one man claimed to have been victims of sexual harassment while working in the Palace of Westminster.

Three women, all in their 20s, and one woman in her 50s said they had been victims of sexual assault.

One claimed she had been assaulted by a former MP, another by a visitor to an MP and a third by a House of Commons employee.

None chose to report the assault, one because she felt she would not be believed and feared for her job and the others because they did not think it was serious enough.

The findings are from a BBC Radio 5 survey carried out following a series of claims about MPs' behaviour and the culture at Westminster.

Musicians and politicians are campaigning outside parliament ahead of a 10-minute rule motion table by Labour's John Spellar to protect live music venues.

He wants to put the onus on housing developers to make sure new homes are insulated against noise, if they are built near an existing music venue.

10-minute rule motions are a way for backbench MPs to change the law, although these bills rarely make it onto the statute books without Government support.

Big cheers for new Tory deputy chairman James Cleverly, who reminds her that David Davis once hugged his EU counterpart Michel Barnier.

He asks her to passionately embrace her agenda of improving lives across the country, as she set out when she became PM.

PM jokes he has never had the kiss he once asked for. She says the Government will get Brexit right but they are focusing on domestic issues such as housing and school standards.
