Westminster live: Theresa May blames Labour for decision to destroy Windrush landing cards

Labour MP Ellie Reeves asks about the rise of violent crime in London, saying a decrease in policing funding is to blame.

May says "money is being made available to police forces" and that the government has published a strategy on tackling violent crime. She adds that there is "no direct correlation or direct causal factor" between the number of officers on the ground and levels of violent crime - saying these are the words of the shadow policing minister, Louise Haigh.

Former cabinet minister Iain Duncan Smith asks about antisemitism, saying political parties must take a no tolerance approach to it. May agrees and again praises speeches made yesterday by Labour MPs Luciana Berger and Ruth Smeeth. They are a "fine example of the best of this House of Commons", she says.

Theresa May blamed Labour for the Home Office decision to destroy Windrush immigrants' landing cards - full story here:

There's a row brewing over the treatment of Albert Thompson - the man who was denied NHS treatment for cancer because he could not prove his legal right to live in the UK. Theresa May said a few minutes ago that Mr Thompson would be receiving the treatment he needs, but reports suggest that was the first he had heard of it. 

We understand Labour MP Chuka Umunna will use a point of order after PMQs to accuse the prime minister of misleading parliament.

Prime Minister's Questions has just finished. Theresa May will feel she got through a tricky encounter on the Windrush fiasco, but she made two claims that are now under intense scrutiny, and which could spectacularly backfire if either one - or both - prove to be incorrect.

First, she claimed Albert Thompson, who came to the UK from the Caribbean decades ago, will be given NHS treatment despite having previously been denied it - but reports suggest he has not been told this. 

Second, the prime minister said the decision to destroy Windrush immigrants' landing cards was taken under the Labour government. The Home Office said yesterday the cards were destroyed in October 2010 - almost six months into Ms May's tenure as home secretary. Expect a lot of questions about exactly when the decision was taken, who signed it off, and why May's team didn't overrule it when they entered the department.

The government is expected to lose a vote on the EU Withdrawal Bill in the House of Lords this afternoon, but a cabinet minister has told The Independent the government will "live with" the defeat. Senior Tories believe the wording of the amendment will not stop them pushing ahead with their Brexit plans and is not strong enough to stop the UK leaving the customs union.
