It is the last Prime Minister's Question Time before Parliament's summer recess. Sean Curran presents the best of the weekly duel between David Cameron and Ed Miliband.
So could the Coalition Government be about to disintegrate after Tuesday's splits over reforming the House of Lords? Sean Curran reports on the scene at Westminster the day after the late night rebellion by Conservative MPs. Ed Miliband and David Cameron do battle in the final round of Prime Ministers Questions before the summer recess. Once again, the Government's economic record is central to the noisy exchanges between the leaders.
