Sean Curran reports on events at Westminster, where the fall-out from last month's Budget dominates Prime Minister's Questions.

Sean Curran reports from Westminster, where the Prime Minister defends last month's Budget.

David Cameron said the Budget would help make Britain competitive, but Labour leader, Ed Miliband, said it had been an "omnishambles".

MPs debate the details of the Finance Bill, which implements the Budget, with Ministers under pressure over the so-called "pasty tax" and the cut in the top rate of income tax.

And Britain's newest MP gets to ask the Prime Minister a question - two years after his parliamentary career was interrupted by the electorate.
