Prime minister's questions

Conservative leader David Cameron has accused Gordon Brown of creating the "longest recession since the war", and of planning to cut apprenticeships by 10%.

In exchanges at prime minister's questions on 11 November, Mr Brown retorted that Tory plans would do nothing to reduce unemployment, telling MPs that Mr Cameron had failed to set out his own policies.

Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg challenged the PM to scrap plans to reform housing benefit which he said would cost poorer people £15 per week.

Mr Brown questioned the accuracy of Mr Clegg's figures.
