Around 5,000 questions were sent in for the PM

PM: Hi everyone! We are now live at Number 10 with Tony Blair...

David: If you could meet anyone living or dead who would it be? David, Queensway

PM: Probably the person I am meeting tomorrow, Nelson Mandela.

Kellykell: Was it really necessary to go to war in Iraq?

PM: Yes I believe it was. We have had difficulties but Iraq will become democratic.

Rose: Would you stand shoulder to shoulder with George W Bush if he was to invade north Korea?

PM: He's not going to do that fortunately. but we shouldn't forget the thousands of people who die there every year.

Frank: Now that Bush has been re-elected and Colin Powell replaced by Condoleezza Rice what changes would you like to see in US foreign policy?

PM: Not so much changes but intensification of efforts for peace in the Middle East. With Arafat gone and the situation unblocking in Gaza there is a real opportunity...

Boby: Is Britain prepared for a terrorist attack?

PM: As prepared as we can be. The security services are doing great job to do that.

Laura: When are the Black Watch coming home, will it be before Christmas?

PM: It will be before Christmas. The exact date can not be revealed for security reasons.

Turtle: I am not worried about terrorists; I am worried about burglars, muggers, car jackers and anti social youths. My tax alone is �50k plus.

PM: That's why we've got record number of police and this afternoon I will present new measures to fight drugs. We will for example test people for drugs who we arrest.

Boo: Why are you banning fox hunting?

PM: Well, I'm not. The House of Commons has and it's a free vote of the MPs. I wanted a compromise. This decision was genuinely left to the MPs.

Leah: Do you smoke yourself? What are your views on the smoking ban being imposed on Scotland?

PM: No I don't smoke but i used to. For 6 or 7 years. I quit as part of the marriage deal.

Nathalie: Why not completely ban smoking in public places? What has the presence of food in a pub got to do with it?

PM: I think it's a sensible compromise.

George: Will there ever be an improvement on National Health dentists in Wales? I cannot get one anywhere, I've tried for two years?

PM: There is a problem all across the UK. We r increasing the number of people from abroad who can work as dentists and working on training here. Get in touch.

Keith: With all the money being generated by the national lottery why can't we use this to improve hospitals, schools and public services?

PM: We do. Some of the money goes to scanners in hospital, sports facilities ... The lottery though has to go on many different issues.

Shel: Why can't I get urgent medication that I need as my hospital says there is no money? I'm 33 and need it now not 2 years later.

PM: I am surprised of that. There is though probably something we could do if we had more details. The average waiting time is however way down now, 7-8 weeks. Get in touch.

Doherty: Why do you think it's all right to send millions of pounds overseas as aid when so many things like the NHS need money now?

PM: We are putting a lot of money into the NHS. By 2008, we will be up to the average European spending there. But we also need to help people overseas who are starving.

Thomas: Could child care be made affordable by allowing child care credit to pay family members or registered child minders.

PM: It can be for registered child minders. The problem if you say every member of the family to take care of the child, there can be abuses.

PM: It's a priority for us and we are meeting our targets in Britain.

Michelle: Why does the government not impose immigration restrictions like those imposed on both the Canadians and Australians.

Mosquito: Where does your relationship with Gordon Brown stand? Is he a future leader of the Labour party?

Voodoo: Would you trust your wife to run the country?

PM: Well fortunately that's not a question that's arising!

Guitarplayer: What do you think of the new Band Aid song?
