In PMQs, MPs paid tribute to the Speaker of the House, John Bercow, for all that he has done in his time as Speaker. The Prime Minister, Boris Johnson was asked questions about the education and police funding, the UK's role at COP26, the Prime Minister's general election campaign and more.

The Leader of the Opposition, Jeremy Corbyn, began with thanking the Speaker of the House, John Bercow for the positive changes he had made within Parliament, such as making the institution a "much more LGBT friendly place", opening up parliament to the public, expanding the use of urgent questions and standing up for parliament.

Jeremy Corbyn moved on to ask the Prime Minister about National Health Service money being siphoned of into private profit, and the cost of drugs and medicine being repeatedly discussed between US and UK trade representatives.

The Scottish National Party's Westminster Leader, Ian Blackford, made a statement on the cost of Brexit for Scotland.
