Welcome to The Independent’s live blog of the first Prime Minister’s Questions of the new parliamentary session.
Welcome to The Independent’s live blog of the first Prime Minister’s Questions of the new parliamentary session. It comes after a leaked document revealed Government proposals for immigration curbs after Brexit.
The blueprint for Britain’s new immigration system – which would strip all newly-arrived EU migrants of their rights to live permanently in the UK – triggered a furious backlash within hours.
But with Labour still divided on the issue of immigration it is unlikely that Mr Corbyn will want to dwell on the issue for all of his six questions. He is much more likely to exploit reports that the Government is planning to end the controversial public sector pay cap – introduced by the coalition government in 2010.
The Labour leader could also use the first Prime Minister’s Questions of the parliamentary session to challenge Ms May on the fragility of her Government and the Cabinet splits exposed over the summer months following the inconclusive general election result in June.
