Here are the politics latest updates:

David Cameron will fly off straight after PMQs today to Iceland for a meeting of northern European countries from inside and outside the EU, where he is expected to continue to push his case for changes to the UK's relationship with Brussels.

Both Iceland and Norway are outside the EU but are part of the European Economic Area, which gives them access to the single market.

But in return they have to abide by EU rules and contribute money to Brussels' coffers - around 600 million euro (£432 million) a year in Norway's case.

David Cameron is expected to have talks with the leaders of both Iceland and Norway at the Northern Future Forum, a grouping which also includes EU members Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania and Sweden.
