From a start close to home, the day's political horizons gradually broadened to finish with international security and defence:
- The Tories pledged to double the number of new starter homes to 200,000 by 2020 - at a discounted rate for first time buyers. Labour want to see 200,000 new homes built a year by 2020. The Lib Dems want to see 300,000 new homes built annually by 2020, including 10 new garden cities
- Home Secretary Theresa May was challenged in the Commons on anti-terror measures. She denied changes in the law made it easier for a network of suspected terrorists to operate in West London - among them, the Islamic State killer Mohammed Emwazi
- Labour proposed a system of 'yellow-card' temporary suspensions for rowdy behaviour in the Commons. The Speaker said the suggestion had 'merit'
- Mr Bercow also warned the Palace of Westminster might have to abandoned if repair and modernisation work was not prioritised
- Pets killed on roads will have to be collected, identified and their owners notified. The move follows a campaign by a woman who wasn't told her dog had died until four months after it had been found
- MPs went on to debate defence. The chairman of the defence select committee, Rory Stewart, said that if Russia invaded Estonia, NATO would not know how to respond. A succession of MPs argued for defence spending to be at least maintained at the present 2% of GDP.
