Keir Starmer goes in on 400k arrest records deleted.

PM says officials "hope very much" that they will be able to restore the data.

KS: "This is not just a technical issue. It's about criminals not getting caught and victims not getting justice."
PM says "of course it outrageous that any data has been lost but we are trying... to retrieve that answer."

KS then asks how long for wrongly deleted records to be restored to the database.

PM: "Any loss of data is unacceptable."
KS then turns to Priti Patel's comments she wanted to close the borders last March. Wants to know why she was over-ruled.

PM says the UK has "one of the toughest border regimes in the world".
PM adds that Labour continues to "look backwards, play politics and snipe from the sidelines".

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan kicks off his @LBC phone-in by saying that if the Court of Appeal rules against Transport for London that it got it wrong with the Bishopsgate route, now closed to all vehicles but buses, then it will abide by that ruling.
He says he is "more than happy" to let black cabs use Bishopsgate but wants to let the Court of Appeal make its ruling.
Sadiq Khan says 38 bus drivers have now died from Covid-19.

He says age of bus drivers a factor behind high death rate.

TfL has kicked more than 2,000 passengers off buses for not wearing a face mask.

"My dad was a bus driver so this is personal to me," says the mayor.

Matt Hancock tells MPs he can't give GPs indications about who they will be able to vaccinate more than a week ahead because supply is "lumpy" and the worst thing ministers could do is give "false certainty" about the number of doses that will be available.
Mr Hancock adds the "early indication" is that the new variant is just as susceptible to the vaccine as the old variant.
Jeremy Hunt asks when the Government will introduce quarantine hotels.

Health Secretary says the Government "remains vigilant" about what needs to be done to prevent new variants coming into the country.

Chancellor Rishi Sunak tells @LBC his "priority" has been jobs and that the UK's unemployment rate is lower than France, Spain, Canada and the US.
"This is an uncertain environment both economically and the health side," Mr Sunak says, responding to criticism forecasts don't take full account of a vaccine being rolled out.

OBR assumes it'll happen in middle of 2021. If it happens sooner, then it "may have some upside".
Mr Sunak admits "he has to keep an eye" on interest rates, adding that it is "why it is so important" we get the public finances on a sustainable footing so the country is "insulated" to interest rates rising.

Keir Starmer asks why Home Secretary is still in post.

Priti Patel has apologised, the PM says. He says he “makes no apology” for sticking by the Home Secretary.

Starmer says any other PM would have sacked Priti Patel, and any other Home Secretary would have resigned.
PM says he’d take criticisms of his leadership from Keir Starmer if the Labour leader could explain why Jeremy Corbyn is still a member of the Labour Party.

Keir Starmer replies he is tackling difficult issues in his party, while the PM is “running away” from issues in his.
Starmer asks how much money has been wasted on PPE that can’t be used.

PM says this line of attack is the “feeblest”, accusing the Labour leader of flip-flopping about what he is demanding.

Starmer moves on to conflicts of interest when it comes to the awarding of contracts.

This is the heart-breaking story of Shaan Devnani, his wife Jessica and their five-year-old son.

Shaan is 36. He has Motor Neurone Disease and has shielded since the first lockdown.

So has his son, who's been off school since March, save for the first half of this term. Image
Once Shaan's been vaccinated, his son can return to school, the family safe in the knowledge he can't bring Covid-19 home.

But Shaan is only in Tier 6 - "high risk adult, under 65".

As you can see, 15 million people are ahead of him in the queue for a vaccine.

h/t @TheSun Image
PM from yesterday: "With a favourable wind... we should be able to inoculate... the vast majority of the people who need the most protection by Easter."

Going by this, Shaan should've received two doses by middle of March and his son can return to school.
