1139 Meanwhile, Wales Questions are under way and the chanber is about a quarter full. The MPs usually start filing in in earnest about 10 to 15 minutes before PMQs. 1147 Columnist Peter Hitchens tells Daily Politics that George Osborne is an "unimpressive" politician. Mr Grayling responds by criticising Business Secretary Lord Mandelson.
1141 Shadow work and pensions secretary Chris Grayling tells Daily Politics says the government has "plenty of time" to schedule a debate on abortion if it wants to. Mr Brown may be asked about that.
